Statistician’s Notes

(Pulls 97 thru 159)
5 April, 2002

Penalties

Joker --  region 9, owned by Kevin Hybeck.  Was disqualified for all pulls before 6 Jan 2002 because he was under 1 year of age.  Joker was disqualified so he neither contributed, nor earned points on all pulls before 6 Jan 2002.  Affected pulls are 30, 39, 40, 43, 66, and 67.  One was snow and reversed the medal standings.

Requested Changes

Olive owned by Kenny McCallister in region 4.  Olive was sold to Josh Leiter in region 6 on 23 Dec 2001.  Olive’s points prior to 23 Dec 2001 have been reset per IWPA rules.  Reported by Kevin McCabe and confirmed by Toni Yoakam.  Sale date supplied by Toni.

M owned by Diane Jessup of region 2 should be Mhorgana.  The name was entered incorrectly on the finish report for pull 58.

Molly owned by David Heil was sold Jeff Tinker (a non-member) on 19 Feb.  I put Jeff in as provisional and changed the ownership to Jeff then reposted the affected pull and standings.  The affected pulls will show Jeff as the owner and David as the handler and the score will be zero.  Molly will not appear in the standings.  Affected pulls are 8-10, 16-17, 26-28, 44-45.

Spike owned by Lacy Wood is a Boxer/Pitbull mix; not an Am. Pit Bull Terrier.  Correction made.

Rob Damron’s name was corrected from Rob Damra per Jerry Leist.

Olive, owned by Josh Leiter, was changed from an Am. Pitbull Terrier to a Staffordshire bull terrier per Jerry Leist.

Lori Summers is now married to Rich Rodgers (per Jerry Leist) and was listed as Lori Rodgers at his pull.  I have changed her name to Rodgers.

Oalie – owned by Philisity Kitson was corrected from Olie per Todd Pederson.

All the dogs under Todd Pederson’s membership had “Swampdog’s” pre-pended to their name per Todd’s request.

E R R O R S

Pull 118, Olympia WA

60# class, Tuko and Kaelin were listed in the wrong order on the finish report.

Pull 121, Estes Park CO

40# class line-up was reversed on the Finish report if the numbers indicated are correct.

Pull 126, Hampton VA

60# class line-up of Trigger & Ravin was reversed on the finish report if the numbers indicated are correct.

Pull 127, Hampton VA

80# class line-up of Blue Sox & Shane was reversed on the finish report if the numbers indicated are correct.

Pull 132, Cadillac MI

60# class 4^th through 6^th line-up was mixed on the finish report if the numbers indicated are correct.

Pull 133, Cadillac MI

125# class 2^nd and 3^rd places were reversed on the finish report if the numbers indicated are correct.

Pulls 136-137, Providence RI

Several times were listed over 100 seconds, e.g. 103.65.  I assumed they meant to write 1:03.65 and assumed a time like 63.65.  One time was written as 114; and 74 seconds is still hard to believe.

Pull 144, Selah VA

80# class had times and weights reversed (wrong columns) for the last 3 dogs..

Pull 152, Lawrenceville GA

60# class lineup was reversed by weight.  However, it really doesn’t matter, as all dogs were provisional.

Name Assumptions

For the following entries, the name spelling (bold) used is that in the database.  Listed are the pull number and how the name was spelled on the pull sheet (underlined).

Tyler Lake – pull 99, East Tawas, Tyler Storm handling Aries.  I have him listed as owning a dog named Storm.  Perhaps the recorder mixed his name with one of his dog’s name.

Lori Rodgers – assuming Lori Summers of the Rich Rodgers / Lori Summers membership.

Assumptions

Sparky – Region 5, Newboro & Tannersville, handled by Wendy Leister – assume Steve Jackson’s dog.

All Dogs – Region 5, Newboro & Tannersville and handled by the Lutz boys – assume Steve Jackson’s dogs.

All Dogs – Region 5, Warrensburg and handled by the Lutz boys – assume Steve Jackson’s dogs.

Kevin Catlin, Chief, Suki – Dec 30^th in Gloucester, VA (pull 69) we had a provisional member named Kevin Cotlin that handled 2 Malamutes: Chief and Suki.  Jan 4^th, Kevin & Sherry Catlin joined IWPA.  Feb 16^th at Gates NC, Kevin Catlin handled 2 Malamutes named Cheif and Suki.  I’m assuming the same person and dogs and leaving the one name as Chief.

Maulie – originally handled by Heather Leu in Jan. at Ridgefield and Heather was assigned the owner.  Diane Jessup then handled her at Ridgefield on 16-17 Feb. with no indication of another owner.  I now see Diane also handled her at Olympia in Feb. with no indication of another owner.  At the Jan. pull, Diane was already handling 2 dogs, so I am assuming she is Diane Jessup’s dog.  I’m Checking.

Samson – handled by Ron Overgaard at Manson on 23-24 Feb.  Assuming Pepperhaus Samson owned by Kent Stuart.

Daisy – handled by Anthony Statuto at the Port Clinton, PA pull 2 March.  Assuming Brian Corbett’s dog, as Brian and Anthony are from the same town in MA and Brian apparently was not at the pull.

Red Rio – handled by Holley Lowery at the Kingston pull is assumed to be Rio who was first handled by Brett Young 19 Jan.  I have also changed the name to Red Rio.

Chief – handled by Ed Higgins at the S. Vienna pull on 23 Mar.  Assuming Doug Marrero’s dog, as Ed doesn’t seem to have any dogs of his own and often handles Doug’s dogs.
