The Rules Committee met at the most recent Autumn Oaks to discuss and vote on all rule change proposals on the ballot, as they relate to the nite hunt running rules. The following proposals are those that were passed by a majority vote and are those that will go into effect on January 1, 2020 for all UKC Licensed Nite Hunts. Until then, current running rules apply for the remainder of 2019 as shown in the Official Coonhound Rulebook and on the back side of the current scorecards.

Starting next month, we will go into further details on each of the following rules changes. Also, UKC has received some proposals to consider as they apply to bench shows. Those will be considered and any changes in that regard will be noted here prior to 2020.
