This is exactly why I posted to the list about the rule changes the BOD
voted on at the Jan. 23th meeting. I don't have the answers as I only found
out in the Board O Gram ( a little blurb at the end). This morning I was
filled in on the details. (I'm only the Red Book Chair). It seems maybe
even a Board member doesn't know about the change.
I would suggest asking the Futurity Chairman who initiated the change at
the Board meeting how all this plays out this year.
As to the discussion, if there was any, only a Board Member can say.
I just wanted everyone to know about the change before entries closed in
case it impacted where they enter.

I have a question:
What about those regions who originally had both regular & amateur
Futurities listed; so one then makes their entries for both in their home
region.
But then, the classes are changed & combined after the fact? (I know this
is the newly approved format beginning 2015- I try to keep up with the board
minutes)
In January, all regions had separate amateur & regular Futurities. Last
week, 2 regions decided to combine; and, today there are 3!?!
Are ppl in such a rush to do away with the amateur futurity that they're
not even happening in (currently 3) regions this year? It seems a bit late
to me to change up the program (for this year only I mean) seeing as the
awards are already purchased, there are entrants in amateurs, et cetera.
What is expected to happen for those who are entered in both for their
region where the classes are combined? People pay two entries to be judged by
2 judges; I'm sure there are entrants who enter the amateurs just so they
get to show their own dog for that one time of the year when they otherwise
use pro handlers the rest of the time. If the classes were to be
combined, how then would the amateur even have the opportunity to even show
their
own dog (as the pro would then have it I would suspect)? If there is to
only be one show, then those owners would receive a refund for the amateur
entry with those classes gone? Or will they still be "separate",
(classes/awards) but all judged by one judge so each region can be represented
in
October for both systems?
While I know there had to be considerable discussion on how those combined
Futurities/Maturities would be run, I obviously missed out on those
details.
