Here is one that happened 2 years ago and still bothers me.2 good dogs in the final cast of opens.Hot afternoon and can't get a rabbit up.Final minutes dog A strikes that is out in a hayfield.dog B honors quickly and they indicate a little bunny the way they are whimpering and opening all over in a 20 foot circle.finally dog B carries a line for maybe 15-20 ft. and then both shut up completely.Each dog just needs a win to Champion.

If it was less than 3 minutes left you would have to award 10 points for hunt and handle if they were tied at 0. If their were more than 3 minutes left I would minus dog A, unless I was sure the rabbit was up.
