We appreciate your efforts to solve some of the minor issues Carol
Obviously it is not something that will please everyone.....but for those of us
that did
use the double entry and will occasionally need it.... I think we will
appreciate your efforts
to tweak it a little to make it more efficient for those handling the paperwork
and to keep it.
We had several judge changes this year.....so it helped some.
Of course there will be several entries missing in every Futurity for those
dogs that WERE
shown in the other Futurity they entered............but we have a lot of absent
or no shows at
every Futurity no matter what. To throw this new plan out for that reason
would seem
pointless and certainly won't solve the problem of absentees anyway.
Again.....those of us that did utilize the second choices........we appreciated
the new format
being available......and some clubs will benefit from the double entries
whether the dogs do
show up at their Futurity or another Futurity.
If it helps the Clubs......and the exhibitors with another choice.......it
surely can't hurt!! <G>
Thanks for your diligence!!

Just so that everyone is aware.
The board had approved the idea of double entries (under the two year rule),
and right after
I took over, I was charged with figuring out how to do it.
Yes, it was confusing getting the entries out to the correct place. But I
have completely
re designed the entry form for next year> You will see that the Very first
line at the top is for
REGION ENTERED. I think that will ease the confusion considerably.
I think next year will run much more smothly.
Since we have also done away with Rau,( to save each local club as much as
$900 super's fees,) we are still in a learning process there also. We try
to find our mistakes and err in favor of the exhibitor. We are ready to
take any recommendations, but prefer it be privately.
Send me E-mails at any time at _Scharo777@xxxxxxxx

I thank everyone for their patience and for caring.

I don't think this was an isolated case, I know of at least 1 dog/owner that
this happened
to at the Midwest Futurity/Maturity also. They were also able to verify the
entry had been
done properly submitted but the paperwork had not gotten to the show
secretary, so the
dog was able to be shown.
This does bring up an interesting point, is this new system worth keeping
and how can it be
made easier and more correct to prevent frustration such as voiced in this
post.
At first I thought it was cool to be able to enter 2 Futurity/Maturity's,
now, after seeing how
it actually worked, I'm not entirely sold on it. For one, it really scues
the #'s, that is of course
a small issue. The bigger issue is the procedure for the paperwork.
The paperwork has to be astronomical, having been a show secretary for our
local club and
the entry #'s a futurity brings with it, I can not imagine the job of the
superintendent having to
disburse this to multiple show secretaries. Obviously, this did not go
smoothly, and I'm sure
better dual control will be implemented if this system stays in place.
Now I am NOT saying this is bad and we should discontinue entry in 2
seperate regions, I'm j
ust throwing out some issues that arose and as in all new programs,
it takes time to implement new procedures.
Just putting it out there.
