2016 Blackwater & Conecuh Points Race

Hunts to be counted

SANTA ROSA FHA
ALABAMA STATE FHA
BLACKWATER FHA
BLUE SPRINGS OPEN
COLDWATER YOUTH HUNT


Any kennel wanting to compete for points will be required to buy a yearly membership separate from the hunt membership but this is only a one time yearly fee.

Memberships need to be purchased before the first day of cast at the Santa Rosa by contacting Christy Freeman, or Sky Scott. Each kennel will pay $20

*Plus $5 for each additional member (if 1 member $20, if 2 members $25, 5 members $40) to go towards the end of the year banquet (for banquet food and prizes for winners so the membership will be spent on the hunters).

You will be asked to fill out a membership form with all members of the kennel, and only those people will count towards points.

We will be taking memberships up till the Wednesday of the Santa Rosa. Contacting us to sign up is acceptable.

The top 20 HOY and top 10 KOY, SOY, DOY, in these 4 categories, will be recognized at the end of the year banquet and will be posted on Masterfox.

Bonus points will be applied to hounds placing in Derby or All Age in Alabama and Florida.

**This year we have decided to include 5 CRHA hunts listed below, if the parties putting on the hunt choose to use CRHA rules this year***

Ledbetter Memorial
Blackwater 1 day
Southeastern Dog Hunters Association
Dry Creek 1 day
Alabama State 1 day

Points to be awarded will be half of Grade 4, and will be added at the end of the year so you can follow them on Masterfox for accuracy.
