If possible be close to the tree within three (3) minutes. If handlers are so far from tree that it will take more than three (3) minutes to get to tree, they are to start walking toward tree, but stopping periodically to let other handlers see if their dog is treeing.

Six (6) minutes of hunting time may be used to shine trees. Individual holding first tree shall be granted first two minutes to shine alone only if requested.
Where dogs are split, judge will go with handler to the dog that trees first. If a split tree is obvious (Judge’s decision), split tree will be noted. Separate time must be kept on each tree unless all dogs are called treed. Judge shall give handler permission to handle dog on split tree unless cast is in process of shining a tree. After the split dog has been handled, handler shall return to cast. If all dogs are called treed and handled and cast plans to move to new location after scoring all trees, trees may be scored in most convenient order. In all other cases, trees must be scored in the order dogs were called treed.
After tree scored, cast must walk 30 seconds or to the last place dog dog(s) were heard. At this point dogs are to be cast. No leash lock except in the case above where dogs are scored out of order. In all other cases, dog(s) must be recast.
A dog declared struck after the recast, receives the next available strike position. The strike position previously held by dog(s) on leash is not available until dog(s) are recast. Note: It is possible that multiple dogs may occupy fourth strike position.
Dogs at tree must be leashed.
Questions
Questions in the field must be made immediately and a question mark placed by the score. When a non-hunting judge is carrying the card and a call is questioned, the Event Leader and/or panel will make a decision on the question after scorecard is received and parties discuss the question.

If a question is made under a hunting judge, all cast members must vote on the call. If a handler refuses to vote, their dog will be scratched. It takes a majority vote to overturn the hunting judge decision. Only calls/non calls can be questioned that were questioned at the time of the call.

Put up $20 to pay club to put three panel members together if ruling is overturned you receive the $20 back if not the club keeps the $20.

Other General Rules

Ties

Updated 04/14/24 for clarification.
Determining WInners
A. Final score — Dog’s final score is determined by subtracting all minus points from all plus points. All circle points count as zero as a final score. The following formula applies to selecting a cast winner, determining final cast eligibility and placing dogs in a final cast. After determining the final score, the order of placement is as follows:
(1) Most Plus Points — If more than one (1) dog has the same amount of plus points as a final score, see tie breaking rules.
(2) Total score of zero — All circle points count as zero for a final score. If more than one (1) dog has a final score of zero (no plus and no minus), see tie breaking rules. (3) least Minus Points with Plus or Circle Points — The dog with the least minus points that has scored plus or circle points. (4) least Minus Points without Plus or Circle Points — The dog with the least minus points without scoring plus or circle points. (5) Dog with no Plus or Circle Points — A dog without plus or circle points cannot place over a dog who has scored plus points or circle points.
Breaking Ties — All ties must be broken to determine a cast winner or placement. Ties will be broken as follows:
(1) The dog with the most plus tree points.
(2) The dog with the most plus strike points.
(3) The dog with the most circle points, combined strike and tree.
(4) The dog with the most circle tree points.
(5) The dog with the least minus points.
(6) If still a tie, split and share winnings and points, flip a coin, or hunt 1 hour – whichever is agreed upon by the majority of the cast that is tied. If an agreement cannot be reached, winnings and points must be split. If the hunt has added money, prizes, or is to determine placement for a final four or advancement of that particular hunt, a cast winner must be determined by either hunting it off or flipping a coin. If those tied cannot agree, winner will be determined by the flip of a coin.

Senior Cast

Any individual age 50 or older may request a Senior cast.

3 or more of age 50 or older must agree to hunt in the Senior

cast in order to have Senior cast.

Leaving Cast

Other
When hunting judges are used, each handler is be required to remain with the cast
for the entire cast curation, even when the handlers dog
is no longer be a part of the cast, unless all remaining handlers agree to handler leaving. A handler may not leave the cast for any reason except to go to his dog on a separate tree after the tree is closed. Departing from a cast without unanimous cast member permission and/or leaving it with less than the three (3) cast member at all may subject the exiting handler to suspension.
The judge can give a handler permission to leave the cast to search for his/her dog during time-out.
Vehicles
At no time will a cast be permitted to use any type of vehicle to travel to dogs during hunting time or to score pending trees after hunting time. If vehicles are used, time-out must be called.
Training collars
No dummy collar, scent type collars, or any type of training collar with prongs can be worn during hunting time at any UHA event. Lighted safety type collars are allowed only if they cannot be remotely controlled.

UHA Youth Program
To compete in the UHA Youth Program, the youth must be a paid-up member of the United Houndsmen Association.
Host club must provide a guide and a non-hunting judge for every youth cast. It is encouraged and allowed for youth to carry the card and record scores, but only under the supervision of the non-hunting judge.
The UHA Youth Program consists of two divisions, Junior and Senior. The Jr division is for youth ages 5 to 13. The Senior division is for youth age 14 to 18. Youth must compete in the age group in which their age is as of January 1 in the year they are competing when possible. In the instance that the Jr entries are full, a Jr can move up into the Sr Division but must follow Senior rules. Cast win points count towards their real age group no matter if points are earned in Jr, Sr, or Open.
(Addition 02/12/24) If there are not enough entered in one age division to have a cast, both age groups can be drawn together.
In the Jr division, all entered must have an adult with them that is responsible for that youth. That adult may help the youth with when to call his/her dog, but the youth must make the call for position before it is accepted.
In the Sr division, no adult help is allowed. Judges are encouraged to help with rule questions anytime asked by a competing youth.

Updated 01/04/24 @ 6:00pm central. Youth are allowed to compete in open events, ~~however;~~ points will ~~not~~ count towards youth standings for dog, handler, or (and) owner.
Clubs are encouraged to have a UHA Youth cast at any event where there are 2 or more youth desiring to participate. (5/23/24) 2 dog cast are allowed in both the open and the youth; however, there must be a non hunting judge.
At all UHA hunts where there is a Youth cast, photo of the entire cast (handlers/dogs) must be emailed to info@uhahunts.com within 7 days. These photos will be posted on the UHA website and/or the UHA Facebook page.
Standings
Standings for each season will be kept on all handlers and dogs. Points will be earned as follows for both dog and handlers. 5 points for each cast win. In the event of a final cast hunting off for position, extra points can be earned. 5 points for 1st, 3 for 2nd, 2 for 3rd, and 1 point for 4th. Entry must compete in the final cast to be eligible for bonus points.

Payouts for Open Hunts

State Championships & The UHA National Finals

Our National Finals Hunt will be based on the majority location of the top 16 in the UHA Open National Standings as of August 1, 2024.

For example, if 4 people are from Tx in the top 16, 4 from Ok, 3 from Ohio, and 5 from TN, the National Finals will be held in Tennessee.

The top 16 in the standings as of December 31, 2024 will qualify for the National Finals.

Top 16 determined by points earned which positions them in order of standings. The way points are earned is explained elsewhere in the rules. If there is a tie for position after total # of points earned, tiebreaker will be by # of cast wins with plus points. (Added July 1 2024 at 4:48pm by JP) If still a tie then decided by total money won. If still tied those tied will be put on a wheel and wheel spun to determine position. This is the way any end of year tiebreakers will be broken for both handler and dog standings.

Those dogs that win their State Championship hunt in states that have one will also qualify for the National Finals. In order to have a State Championship in your state, the hunt must be a $100 open hunt with a minimum of SIXTEEN (16) entries. It also must have a minimum of $250 added money. If given 6 weeks’ notice, the UHA will furnish trophies to the King and Queen of Hunt at any State Championship.

To clarify, any State Championship Hunt must have a minimum of 16 entries in order for the winner to receive an auto invitation to compete along with the top 16 at the National Finals. You can schedule a $100 open hunt – State Championship with $250 added, and we will recognize the winner as the State Champion. However: the winner will only receive a National Finals automatic qualification if there are at least 16 entries.

As of 12/31/2024 the dog that is #1 in the National Standings (open) will automatically advance to the final cast at the National Finals. All other dogs that qualify will compete until there is a winner. At that time, the winner of the top 4 cast will face the #1 dog in the standings as of 12/32/24 in a 2-dog cast. The winner of that cast will be the UHA National Champion. The loser of that cast will be the UHA Reserve National Champion.

30% of the National Escrow money will be given to the UHA National Champion. 20% will be given to the UHA Reserve National Champion. Other escrow monies paid will be given to the 3rd, 4th, and 5th place dogs based on placement of their finish at the National Finals Hunt, not the year end standings. They will be awarded 10% for 3rd, 6% for 4th, and 4% for 5th. The final 30% of the escrow money from the 2024 season will be divided up and paid to cast winners at the National Finals. Each cast win receives and equal part of this 30%. For example, if you win 3 cast, you will receive 3 shares of whatever the amount is. If you win only 1 cast, you will only receive 1 share of the amount.

Awards to be given at the National Finals at the minimum are –

100% escrow payout in the open as outlined above.

All escrow from the Youth Hunts will be used to buy awards for the Youth.

Year End awards will include buckles for both the Youth (Jr and Sr) and Open handler of the year. These will be awarded to those with the most points earned over the regular season, not including the National Finals. How points are earned is found on the official UHA website under the rules tab.

The Open National Champion, Open Reserve Champion, and those that place 2nd through 10th at the Open National Finals will receive trophies.

Remember, these are the minimum awards. We have been working hard to get sponsors on board and will certainly continue trying to get sponsors for our National Finals as well.
