Ok i'm bored again, i have shown this format in the past, but wondering if an open was put on at this format would anyone take it up and attend, would like to try something different for a change when Manton is back up and running. Problem is no good people saying lets try something different and then not coming - just an idea and wondered, if it would be worth a try , honest answers would be appreciated, would it be worth a try or do you all think NO WAY :clown:

Dogs and bitches all in, luck of the draw, no solo's, could draw hard or maybe easier heat, wouldn't be a foregone conclusion who would be in your race as often is the case when we run in classes!!!!!

:D
 
Yes I would its always good to try something different it would workout good to have no solos .
 
I wouldn't. (presumed to be yard per pound)

It's the heavyweights that are disadvantaged by yard per pound and that handicap gives the lightweights even more of an advantage.
 
I have a vague recollection of running on this format Karen :eek: Haven't we used it at club before ?
 
Sorry i should have put this is run over 200 yards - makes a bit off a diferences for the heavyweight Tony and not many 16lb dogs would win overall at that distance :)

Yes Elise one of the clubs Annual trophies run over this format, and has been won by all diff weights, from 31lb bitch to 16lb dog and even the ones you presume at the biggest disadvantage 20lb bitches :)

And the 16lbers at 2ft Tony :D
 
Why not Karen its good to try something different, dont agree with the if its not broke dont mend it brigade. At our open we did juniors instead of pups and yearlings, seemed to work ok. Les
 
don't think i would , 2ft/lb is the way forward imo :D
 
t wud depend wud pups/yearlings/vets be in with the adults or separate? Also wud there be scratch racing on if so wot wud the classes be?
 
Just sounding things out Carole, was thinking for main open i would think do pups, vets, scratch etc separate as normal, and wouldnt think pups, vets would like 200 yds maybe scratch would for a change ???
 
i think scratch shud be 140 yds have u seen nikki whizz run? lol ;) :lol:

Don't think Vets would mind 200yds, they do run the bends after all.

I quite like 155yds front dog @ 2ft/lb for pups

Got to agree Kenny a lot of the straight tracks have better going this time of year than the summer . Les.
 
This could get complicated, 200yds main open, 140yds SCRATCH and 155 yds/2ft pups. FFS i'd be dizzy :clown:

And most stuggle with being too hard in summer - makes you think do we run our bend & straight season a bit a**e about face dont we.
