Jack you nailed it.

Gotap, you are right. That was one of their reasons. More and more i get the feeling their rules was changed because there was to many dirty games being played and no good referee to give a foul. On the other hand, their referee now has to count till 3. U can count to 3 in 2 seconds or 5 seconds......
I heard some other reasons like " handling gives to much rest for the dog". And one guy said "under cajun rules the better handler can win and not the better dog, under balkan rules the best dog always wins"

These reasons are coming from professional dogman. Do i even need to comment them?
