From my understanding of math, allowing duplicate entries should bring in more money that anything else - twice the money without having to worry about twice the costs other than catalog listings. Allowing free pre-birth nominations probably adds a few more eligible dogs to the pool but we all know that most of us do those nominations at the last minute. At least, when I used to be involved back when the futurities had large entries, everything happened at the last minute. Didn't they start the late nomination penalty so you could be really late and still nominate?

I was just wondering if it elped with the number of entries? I am to lazy to go back and do the esearch. Speaking of lazy, let me ask for someone with more math ability to get an nswer to a question I have. f you give one person a free litter registration, how much money does the lub lose? Of course, I am going to assume they would have paid for it. hen if one puppy from the litter is entered in a Futurity, how much money oes the club make? Of course I am going to assume some puppies from a ree registration turn out and are shown. o, how many puppy entries does it take to make money for the club for the egistration fees they lose? am just asking. No real reason. I am sure the board considered those igures before they decided to stop allowing free registration. van Ginsburg sgard German Shepherds ttp://www.asgardgsd.com/ here Type Movement and Temperament come together ===========================================================================OST is Copyrighted 2011.
