myself i agree with multiple clockings, its the only way you can improve as fanciers in my own opinion, id prefere multiple clockings, if a geezer has 8 before me id prefere to know that, then him saying had 6 drop together, but could only time in 2! They pay there money to send there birds so they have the right to time them in, and if 6 of em beat you, so be it, it makes you try that bit harder, and builds up the incentive of every sport, to be competitive and be the absolute best, and through selection if you have the best fliers in your federation or club doing so timing in many, you can work out your best birds, by either ruthless selection, by only picking the ones that beat his or there birds, or by buying in a different family of birds to beat the fancier, we dont have no mob men in our club as we have a 20 bird limit, sorry just my own personaly opinions of multiple clocking,
