Jimbo,
Just some simple minded toughts: Redneck Nationals will be running in conjunction with a little pack hunt, more than likely the judges you are gonna get are gonna be little pack judges, why not just use the little pack rules? Why confuse x amount of judges and what not, looking over the entries almost all of us run (or have run) Little Pack anyhow, for the most part we are familiar with the rules. The majority of us are gonna be there concentrating on winning the most prestigious hunt for Little Pack competitors. Keep the hour cast times because it will be pre-world hunt. If it was after I would say hell lets go 2 hrs. like it used to be back when. I'm sure that most of us would rather run our "brag" dog anyhow and not bring another dog just because we don't want to have our best not on it's game for the real deal on Wed. This is supposed to be for "fun" remember? Let's have a fun pre-world warmup. Some might think that I am trying to back down on it, but I am just looking at for the benifit of us all. That way we aren't thinking to ourselves, man did I screw my dog up by running it yeterday for x hrs. I'll admit the longer the cast goes the stronger the dog I plan on running gets, but don't want to take away his shot at world title because of burning him up in a "fun" run the day before. JMO
Onto my end of the bargain: 5dogs X 3casts =15, I will give a $25 gift certificated to the winners of each cast in Round 1. Then if you still want to go with cash for the overall winner, that's cool. And more people walk away winners.
What I'm packin': Unless I buy something new between now and then I guess I'll have to bring one of theese Big Time dogs I got here for the festivities. I guess that puts me at a disadvantage from the start.
