This is a very good explanation of the new rules for IPO and also talks about where points will be taken.

Thanks....This is the report I wrote after attending the FCI Judges meeting. It was a great experience for me to attend the meeting and listen to the guys that actually wrote the rules and be able to ask questions and be in on the discussions....

I didn' realize that it was purt out on the website...I think it will be printed in the magazine also.

Thanks. Outlining the changes and clarifications is so much easier than reading through the entire rulebook looking for changes!

I agree, Lies! I posted it on the gmdsa fb group page(saw it on the other board)

Well, that is not everything...Just the "highlights"...it was really a report on the meeting, not all the changes..I just included the biggest changes...there are other subtle things also....I suggest everyone read the rules...

Thank you, Frank. Most of these changes are pretty minor compared to what some of us have faced over the years.

Just a few new things to remember (the command on the escape may be the hardest LOL) and some other questions people had that have been clarified.

Thanks for posting this, and for the note taking to create it, Frank.

I have just a couple questions as after reading through the PDF I see a couple inconsistencies with previous discussions and the USCA PowerPoint presentation.

-Handlers swinging wide at corners in tracking. This says that the hander may swing wide to keep line tension after the dog is 2-3 meters past the corner and committed to the leg. Other things I've read have said no swinging wide at all, handler must walk the track as if on rails, just like the dog.

Where it says there is "NO CHANGE to the free heeling pattern", I assume that means to the pattern in general, but they're still adding a second left turn, right?

Thank you for this! I'll forward it to our Schutzhund . . . errr, IPO club members.
