If you got a dog 17lb and it wins the final...you would add 3 lb on to there weight (or what ever)...so your 17lb would be 20lb thous giving more yards away...hope that makes sense :teehee:

like gary says it's just the same as time handicap but in reverse instead of being pulled yards for winning you have lbs added to whatever weight your dog as won at.
i.e. winner + 3lb
r/up + 2lb
i.e. winner + 3lb
r/up + 2lb

Manton Handicap system advance and retard
Final winner + 3yds
Heat winners +1yd
2nd in heat stay on same mark
3rd or 4th in heat -1yd
We re weigh in at beginning of each season - and the dogs handicap marks are adjusted at the beginning of each season accordingly so for example if your dog weighed 24lb start of 2005 and say finished the season on a mark of 22lb - but weighed in at 25lb in 2006 its handicap mark would be adjusted by +1 new seasons mark would be 23lb or if weighed in less then obviously would be minus however much. We do not re start the handicap from scratch each season therefore if a dog has just reach a point where it may win on the handicap it is not penalised by having to begin all over again to reach a winning mark.
We're meanies tho dont give pups or vets a lift as soon fit into handicap as a rule with this system. We also have trophies over varying formats throughout the year in between handicap races.
Tuesday evenings is straight yd/lb racing ABC (D if we're lucky) over distances of 150/165/175yds.
