Change in DQ Rule for National Sheepdog Finals.

Posted on 06/30/202206/30/2022 By Pearse Ward

At the June 14th Board of Directors meeting, the BOD approved a change to section III-K(3) of the USBCHA which covers how disqualifications are handled at the National Sheepdog Finals. The new wording will require a majority of judges to agree on a disqualification and if there is no majority consensus, judges may deduct points appropriately up to the maximum permissible for the phase of work in which the infraction occurred and then must continue judging the run. This brings the USBCHA Rules into alignment with ISDS Rules and common practice.

Full wording of the new Rule is available here
