Personally, I do.

Granted seldom is OTC actually OTC, at least one or sometimes both are somewhat prepared.

A true OTC would take the conditioner/conditioning out of the equation. Tons of dogs have won on conditioning and even more have lost due to poor conditioning.

An OTC should be a tru-er representation of what the dog is.

I also think OTC is a close cousin to doing the dog the first time on the cheap so it counts. Most that do the first one on the cheap don't put an all out keep. it is sort of like the final game test but with a little something riding on it.

I also think the disconnect comes when a roll is later is tagged an OTC win. If the contract match rules are followed then it is a match, worked or not.
