If unseeded gets drawn first it gets red, if inside runner drawn second then first drawn shifts to blue and seeded gets red, if another inside seeded drawn third then inside runner drawn before it keeps red box, that dog gets blue and unseeded moves to white

This is discimination against other dogs that dont seed ! If you draw for traps it should be the owners decision whether they change --or how can you call it a fair draw ? This is anything but fair ---drawing red trap--- and just because you dont seed you could end up on wide outside---- if you have four that are seeded in same race as yourself -----

this surely cant be called fair in anyones book ---------what is fair about that having to run futher ? Nothing i believe!

steve

News to me when I've been at scratch draws whichever dog was drawn out first kept the red trap no matter what dog was drawn out next. What a load of rubbish :angry:

chris

Well now I'm confused Chris because how do you explain how inside runners gets the inside boxes and the outside runners get the outside ones ? I'm yet to attend an open and see a wide runner in the red, an inside runner in the black and everyone else in blue, white and orange :wacko:

As for whether it discriminates against unseeded dogs, well that's not up to me. Maybe this will be the first race meeting where dogs seeding is irrelevant to the draw, it will be interesting to see different race results. :thumbsup:

I'm glad I didn't bother getting my dogs ready to race today, they've just come in season this morning :angry: 5 months after the last one :- , except for Moany Moany, with the inujuries she sustained at the club meeting the rest would have done no harm. GET WELL SOON BLAZE :luck:

I wasnt aware that they always got the trap they were seeded from fleesh? Think your explanation of it might just cause a riot. Still what do I know, I'm just new to it, must have got it wrong silly me :wacko: :wacko: Must just be you that goes to those opens then Am sorry moany moany is injured again, she has no luck does she? Hope she changes her luck soon :luck:
