The rules from AKC about soliciting assignments are very specific and apply only to point shows.. ..judges may solicit sweepstakes and match assignments with no penalty attached to the solicitation. There's even an email list that was established specifically for that purpose! Therefore, soliciting an assignment for a futurity would be OK in the eyes of the AKC............it isn't a point show, but a match...........
