President’s Report “TOGETHER WE ARE IMPROVING OUR ASFA”

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year from ASFA!!.

2020 was rough for all of us – marked with staying at home, wearing masks, social distancing, and canceled field trials. I am hoping that we will get back to something like normal during 2021.

The ACoD is scheduled for March 20-21st. It will be virtual. I hope that all or most of the ASFA clubs will be represented. I am looking forward to getting together with everyone – if online.

The 2021 International Invitational has been approved. It will be held on May 15-16th at Antique Acres in Cedar Falls, IA. It will be hosted by Region 5 clubs.

Financially, ASFA weathered 2020. Despite the many canceled trials, ASFA’s earnings exceeded what we had expected and budgeted for.

I learned with great sadness of the passing of 2 friends and remarkable members of our lure coursing community. Denise Como authored lure coursing books, judged, and was a member of GONE (Gazehounds of New England). Fred Lutz was a member of CHAMP (Coursing Hounds of the Mid Potomac) and very active at every trial he attended. My favorite memories of Fred were our discussions while sitting in the golf cart setting up courses in Hanover.

AKC Legislative Update from AKC Legislative Liaison Vickie Jacobs

(from the AKC Government Relations 1-12-2021 yearend report, reprinted and highly edited ) 2020 Was a Record Legislative Year for AKC Government Relations The largest category of new bills tracked by the AKC GR (716 total) [in 2020] were related to COVID-19, many of which had the potential to impact owners and ownership, dog services (such as pet food retailers or groomers) and AKC sports. Visit the AKC Legislative Action Center to view the full list of the many successes achieved throughout the United States throughout 2020 at: https://www.akc.org/clubs-delegates/government-relations/successes/

COVID-19 Advocacy – AKC advocated at the federal as well as state level to limit legal liability for clubs and events related to COVID-19 transmission when events were held in compliance with CDC and other jurisdictional health and safety recommendations. AKC GR worked with members of Congress and staff on these issues, along with a number of other not-for-profit groups sharing similar concerns about their events.

In addition, AKC advocated for financial protections for non-political not-for-profit organizations [primarily 501(c)(7) (clubs) and 501 (c)(4) organizations] harmed by the pandemic. AKC also worked with the pet industry to ensure that pet supply businesses be included in essential businesses. This helped prevent a shortage of food, veterinary or other crucial pet supplies. Information about these initiatives is available on the AKC Legislative Action Center COVID-19 for Resources at https://akcgr.org/akc/covid19?0 and for Legal Liability at https://akcgr.org/akc/covidliability?1

COVID-19 and Canine Legislation: AKC GR worked throughout 2020 to help dog owners and breeders address legislative issues during the pandemic. The GR team remains active in tracking COVID-19 policy issues impacting AKC and dog owners throughout the pandemic. This ranges from advocacy to ensure that dog owners continue to be able to access pet supplies and essential services and providing information on how AKC can stay open during the pandemic; to liability information related to the holding of events, and advocacy for targeted liability limits related to virus transmission for events in compliance with recognized health and safety guidelines. The AKC Legislative Action Center’s COVID-19 Resources Page (www.akcgr.org/covid19) provides the latest information on state regulations impacting dog owners, events, and businesses. The resources page also includes timely blogs and tips on what club members and dog owners can do from home to continue being effective advocates.

15

COVID-19 Liability – GR is continuing to advocate for federal and state laws to limit liability for clubs and events related to COVID-19 transmission when events are held in compliance with CDC and other jurisdictional health and safety recommendations. Information about these efforts, the status of various proposals, a sample letter for lawmakers, and other information on how clubs/individuals can get involved is available on the AKC Legislative Action Center COVID-19 Liability key issue page at www.akcgr.org/covidliability.

Finally, AKC GR is pleased to offer extensive new resources for you in 2021. In 2020, AKC GR developed more than 7 new one- stop policy-based key issues pages in the AKC Legislative Action Center on the following topics: COVID-19 Resources: https://akcgr.org/akc/covid19?2 COVID-19 Civil Liability Limit Legislation: https://akcgr.org/akc/covidliability?3 Dogs in Vehicles: Avoiding Unintended Consequences: https://akcgr.org/akc/dogsinvehicles?4

Be sure to visit the AKC Legislative Action Center (www.akcgr.org) often as new resources continue to be added and updated. All of these materials, as well as existing resources are designed to make it easy for you to get involved to protect your dogs and your rights.

AMERICAN SIGHTHOUND FIELD ASSOCIATION

Bowen Point System

In 1987, the ASFA Board of Directors designated the Bowen System as the official method of determining the annual list of Top 20 hounds in each breed. This system has stood the test of time as there have only been minor alterations made to it over the years. Additionally, ASFA’s Lifetime Top 20 list is based on the Bowen System.

To compute Bowen points, the following list of “rules” has been created:

In a given stake (or flight, should the stake be split), any hound finishing 1st through NBQ shall be awarded Bowen points. One point is awarded for each placing hound; on top of that, an additional point is awarded for each hound defeated. For example, in a 10-hound stake, the fourth place hound would receive a total of seven Bowen points, one for placing and one for each hound defeated (six in this instance). A simple formula for determining Bowen points is:

Bowens = (Number Of Hounds – Placement Received) + 1

In the event a stake is split into multiple flights, an overall stake winner shall be determined. That winner will receive a Bowen point for each hound in the stake. For example, in a three flight stake of 10 hounds each, the overall stake winner receives 30 Bowen points. No additional points would be awarded to the other flight winners.

Hounds winning Best of Breed receive a Bowen point for each hound in its breed. This is the case whether BOB is run off or if it is forfeited. For example, a breed has four hounds entered in Open, nine in FCH, and three in Veteran. The Veteran forfeits the BOB run, and the Open defeats the FCH. The Open hound would then receive 16 Bowen points for winning Best of Breed.

Hounds do not receive any additional Bowen points for winning Best in Field. The maximum number of Bowen points a hound may receive is the number of hounds in its breed.

In the event that a tie for a placement is not broken, Bowen points shall be divided evenly between the affected hounds. All points shall be whole numbers only, with any fractions being dropped. For example, in a seven-hound stake, an unbroken tie for 4/NBQ will result in each hound receiving three Bowen points (four points for fourth place added to three points for NBQ and then divided by the two hounds; the resulting number of three and a half {3.5} is then truncated such that each hound receives three Bowen points).

Hounds invalidly entered in a stake (or flight) shall not receive any Bowen points, regardless of where the hounds place. However, an invalid hound shall count as an eligible hound for any hound that defeats it. For example, an invalid hound places third in a six hound stake. It receives no Bowen points, but the hounds placing first and second received six and five points respectively.
