Statistician’s Notes

(Pulls 17 thru 31)
1 December, 2003

E R R O R S

Pull 18, Allentown PA

Jewel’s time listed as 107.25.  Assuming 67.25.  Pulling 47.25 seconds after time is called is extremely unlikely.

Pull 19, Mechanicsville, VA

Debbie Lee was listed as handling all 3 dogs in the Unlimited class.  I assume this is wrong.  Terry handled Mollee.

Also, in the 60# class 5 of the Owner/Handler entries were something like
Brooke & Tim Wood.  Received updates from Debbie Lee.

80# class – George & Zeke were listed in reverse order according to the numbers listed and no indication they should be reversed. Checking to see if numbers are correct.

Pull 31, Union Gap, WA

Louise – 20# class.  Pulled 18#; but the cart weight was 60 and the starting weight was 100.  Should this have been 180# ?.  Checking.

Assumptions

Pull 28, Kalkaska, MI

Traveller was listed as pulling in the 100# class, but showed a weight of 80#.  But, on the second day the weight was 84#  It just so happen this was the class with the tie and the worksheet was supplied.  The worksheet listed 84#.  Therefore, I am assuming the 80# weight was a typo.

MEMBERSHIP ISSUES

Instead of just assuming memberships, I am carrying this as a reminder that we have some issues to resolve.  If you are on this as a “membership not assumed”, besides not acquiring pull points, you are probably not getting the newsletter either

New Issues
