2nd issue on agenda.

Supreme Qualifier 

Judges should no longer be required to stand together. They should be positioned so they can make sure all requirements are met. At all qualifying events all directors available will judge when not showing a dog, this way we should be able to position 2 judges at different locations. If a dog is not going to pass, stop the run immediately. There will be a judge’s sheet for each pair of judges.  If necessary we can designate another judge or two.

Sessions will be determined by the board of directors, no longer 2 in spring and 2 in fall.

Remove the wind rule.
