WAS JUST THINKING OF SPONSORING A TOP 3 TOURNAMENT FOR THESE 10 OPENS

EASTER CLASSIC

DAWNDEN CLASSIC

SOUTHCOAST SCRATCH

NNWRF CHAMPS

ENGLISH DERBY

IBM GRASSCUTTER

SCOTTISH CHAMPS

SCOTTISH DERBY

BWRA CHAMPS

AND THE FINAL EVENT THE JACK CADMAM

WITH A POINT SYSTEM TO BE ARRANGED ANYONE INTERESTED WITH SOMETHING LIKE THIS

150 POUND FOR WINNER WITH A NICE TROPHY

75 POUND FOR THE 2ND WITH A NICE TROPHY

25 POUND FOR THE 3RD WITH A NICE TROPHY

THE BEST DOGS RUN AT THESE OPENS ANYWAY MAKES THEM WINNING EVEN MORE WORTH WHILE
 
Is this only for the handicap dogs or is there something for Scratch dogs as well?
 
:ermm: Good luck with it, Ray! I can't say I'm really interested as it just seems like the scope of the competition is, once again, limited to the very top of the racing events. At the moment most people attend an event that is within their individual means, hoping to come away with "something" for their efforts. I myself am unable to attend, with the exeption of the champs, any of those named. If you want to make it more inclusive, why not pick an event run by each club, where you will at least get a wider and more representative attendance? As it reads now, it appears that the only folk who would qualify, would be those who are able to travel quite good distances and also have the means to "camp" as a lot of the events are weekenders! Just a thought! :flowers:
 
Theres a topic regarding top ten points in the new k9 forum ..maybe have a read of it ..alot of debate

maybe someone will add the forum address or a link for you
 
Is this not the new k9 forum? If not, then where is it, and who is doing it, is it a secret?
 
I JUST WANT TO MAKE CLEAR, THIS COMPETITION IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TOP TEN. IT WOULD BE COMPLETELY NEW WITH A DIFFERENT SCORING FORMAT THAT WOULD HOPEFULLY GIVE MORE DOGS A CHANCE TO WIN SOMETHING. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FAIR TO HAVE 3 OPENS IN THE NORTH, 3 IN THE SOUTH AND 4 IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY. IT IS AT THE MOMENT JUST AN IDEA AND I HAVE PUT IT ON HERE TO SEE WHAT PEOPLE THINK. IF IT IS NOT WHAT PEOPLE WANT THEN FINE I WON'T DO IT AS I SAID JUST TRYING TO GET FEEDBACK. RAY

Is this only for the handicap dogs or is there something for Scratch dogs as well?
IF IT GOES A HEAD I WILL DO SOMETHINK FOR SCRATCH

Nice one Ray with all the talk about the decline of whippet racing, good to see people thinking of new ideas to try to boost entries and give racers more incentives to attend events. Already looking forward to 2013 season :)
