Interesting idea and one I haven't heard before    But the issue I see, again, if there would be one single extra futurity for those absentees, that would cater to those who can afford to go anywhere or happen to live wherever that "extra" futurity was going to be held Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Jason Lyle <lyloak@xxxxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thu, 7 May 2009 1:56 pm Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Futurities Just a thought but if the system is going to be changed how about one additional uturity after all the Futurities are complete in which dogs that were absent an be shown. Basically if they were out of coat, sick, etc. last chance.  Pay ouble the entry fee to be eligible for this show. Gives every dog that "fair" hance to be at their best without any side games. You could also wait to nnounce who the judge is after the normal Futurities are over if that was a oncern. ason ww.lyloak.com rom: "Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> o: showgsd-l digest users <Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ent: Thursday, May 7, 2009 12:22:10 PM ubject: showgsd-l Digest V3 #1055 showgsd-l Digest   Thu, 07 May 2009   Volume: 03 Issue: 1055 Msg: #6 in digest ate: Thu, 7 May 2009 12:28:32 +0000 (UTC) rom: Amy Greenhut <genoaktortoise@xxxxxxxxxxx> ubject: Re: Futurities I think that it might be okay for people to be able to enter their dog in two uturities. That way they have a choice to show in which ever futurity their dog ooks best.� In my opinion being able to enter any and all futurities is not a ood idea.� Why doesn't the futurity committee just leave it the way that it s......there is nothing wrong with the system the way that it is now.
