Kathy - I see your point but I do believe that Rau could have and should have forcasted confusion.? I did my entries on-line and I did them correct, so this is not sour grapes or anything.? I just think it would be easy to select what you see first because of the verbiage that RAU chose to use. IF I didn't know about the Tuesday specialty and went to enter the National I may very easily assume that while scrolling down that the "German Shepherd Dog Club of American Specialty - Tues" is the National.? We do have events that entire week don't we??? So having it say Tues is not really a reason to think it's not the National.?? Also - if this were my first National or if I had not entered in a long time I may just scroll down and see Rau's verbiage and select that option because it does sound like it could be the National specialty.? Just because Rau technically had it right?based on the Tues/Wed indicator does not mean they shouldn't and don't have a responsibility (as the expert in their field) to make sure there is absolutely no confusion on their on-line entry service on the website.??? That's my opinion anyway Jeff Pyle -----Original Message----- From: Pinehillgsds@xxxxxxx To: dick_jones@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; TISHW@xxxxxxx; InquestGSD@xxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, Sep 23, 2009 3:17 pm Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: [ SHOWGSD-L - National Entry Alert/HUH? Dick, respectfully, I disagree. I just went to the Rau site and the DAY(S) and DATE(S) are clearly marked. They are marked on the left hand side when you enter the "upcoming show "section, they are marked on the premium list and they are marked on the entry form. THREE PLACES. Most of us are used to on-line entry services and we've entered dogs in clusters and know to review the dates and entries before hitting "submit". Now, what some may not have been ready for is that this year, there is a multiple choice...they have the option of entering a Tuesday show AND the National, which starts on Wednesday. So, they clicked the first link, not bothering to look at the date. I get it, but the fault does not belong to the super. Have you actually gone to the entry site to take a look or are you just making the statements below based on the fact that some made errors?
