Ok guys, I've been thinking about this alot and I want your opinions.
Is the 4 entry with a 16 dog cap too much? It makes it harder for the dogs to win and get points the bigger the feild is. I've had to modify how I run the races just to be able to handle these larger numbers as well. lately I've been using the generator to randomly generate 4 numbers for the placings. In the order they come up is the order of the places. I ignore repeats. I've been thinking about making a 10 dog cap with 2 entries per person. I wasn't sure if you guys liked the challege the larger races presented or not though so I wanted to ask. Leave your thoughts here.

I think you should keep the 4 entry limit with a 16 entry limit show. I love the difficulty of it. Makes a dog that gets their title more special in my opinion. I like showing 4 dogs at a time, so only being able to enter two with so few races open at a time wouldn't be very fun for me considering I have 9 dogs to race here. It'd take me forever to finish all of them.

I personally like challenges, so it's good like it is. But, you could do like dog show types of competitions- EBW which means 1 entrie and judged at 5 dogs racing. So, EveryBody Wins but it would probably be to big of a hassle. I still like that. Maybe make diffrent types like dog hunting and tracking. I know it's not racing so make a thread for just those competitions. It will give people more chances of winning.

Example: - Mustang I took my CK Borzoi put on a hunting vest and Radio collar found at Supernova (These should probably be the only items allowed to wear or not wear anything) Then, I adopted and arctic hare (Or find any game type animal and edit photos together. It makes it look like the rabbit is in chase mode. The more frightened the animal looks and the more focused your dog looks the better the points. It would be on the same type of show 3 winners 1 runner up and only 2 entries per person. It would have a maximum of 8-10 dogs per run. You could also make them have multiple pics like one of tracking (sniffing the ground) On of the chase (Like the one shown) and lastly the sit so it makes them show their obedience

Maybe the races could be split into large races and smaller races, like run the larger races less often like they would be in real life?

Here's a suggestion of an event...the Whippet National Specialty show does this in real life....It's a triathlon...one part show...one part obedience or agility...one part lure coursing...which ever one scores most in all events wins

^ That sounds pretty cool, though it is moving from the racing aspect and I'm not sure whether Beagle's up for that?

Yea, it's only a once a year thing in real life anyways, it only happens at the National

I'd rather keep it as simple racing, it's just easier for me to keep up with is all. But thanks for hte idea
