Scenario

[johnny11]

Here is one to ponder over.

 

If you have a bird return from a gruelling 12 hour flight and the bird drops and stays were it lands ie on landing board or on loft roof, as its uncapable of moving

 

Are you contravening RPRA rules if you clock that bird in if it has not enter your racing loft?

as long as u get hold of the bird and get the rubbers off and into the clock i see no problem, if its on ets the same u would be moving the ets ring over the pad which would be in the loft, there is a rule (SHU) regarding ets that birds must be timed in the loft, but this is where it is timed, nothing about having to or where u must take rubbers off, i personally see no problem,

Methinks the next question will be, if you can clock a traditionally rubbered bird outside of the loft then why do you have to have ETS pads inside the loft?

it seems by shu rules anyway that ,you can," quote shu race  rule3,",,,all birds must fly to members loft  ,and be shown, if requested to two members of the committee at any time within 3 days of the race date, said parties have the right to toss the bird 100yds from the loft,and to see that it re-enters owners loft," unquote"
