It's been 15% (15% chance for each one) since we implemented the current judge algorithm.
What percentage of new judges should be "owner/handler"?

I think 30-40% would be better than 15% |

Oh yeah; one more vote for more gender equality - plz give us less judges preferring dogs. Also, I'm all for slightly more owner judges, 25-30% would be perfect. |

I think raising the owner handler judges will just drive up show participation and activity in breeds. |

Going with 33%. 30% got the most votes. The "average" came out to 32.3%. 33% is a nice round fraction. |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) Thumbs up for this! In real life there are many owner handlers, many of them breeders with more years experience than some of the pro handlers. I too believe that this will encourage more participation. ----- Last edited by gaylanstudio on 7/8/2016 10:12:18 AM |

I've explained this a few times but the difference is that in real life you have to learn to become an owner/handler. On here it just removes one aspect of the strategy/tactics of the game. |

this post has been edited 2 time(s) Yeah, right now I am more annoyed by how many the judges prefer dogs over bitches than I am by how many owner-handler judges there are. ----- Last edited by PixelPups on 7/9/2016 12:42:08 AM ----- Last edited by PixelPups on 7/9/2016 12:42:37 AM |

Another vote to equalize or reduce the gender preference - it's way out of whack. |

Not sure what the % is right now, but maybe the % of judges who have a gender preference should only be like 10-15%? In real life, I've never encountered too many who had a very strong gender preference and those that did typically favoured the bitches...lol |

I think a fair percentage preference for it could be... 15 Male 15 Female 70 Neutral.... 20-20-60 wouldn't be bad either... Will |

I think the issue is that right now all but one of the gender preference judges prefer males. K |

this post has been edited 2 time(s) I do agree that if we are to have a gender bias it should be closer to even. Remember, if the judge is doing his/her job this should only come into play when both dogs are equal or so near that the judge is unable to make a decision - a tie-breaker, so that even 50/50 would work. ----- Last edited by gaylanstudio on 7/12/2016 6:19:36 PM |

What would really be helpful is a "Owner Handler" option on the handler list that would work the same as not choosing a handler. That way I know that ones supposed to be owner handler instead of guessing if I need to pick a handler for that event. |
