    Agree, it's not the brightest idea, but it is possible.

    The difference is, in our sport, there is no "sanctioning body" ... so there is no such thing as a "Sanctioned Match"

    For example, in boxing, the WBC (let's say) must sanction a match in order for it to be counted in the books as "legit." In other words, two people can't just challenge each other and have their fight go on record.

    However, no such requirements exist in our sport, precisely because there is no sanctioning body. Therefore, any 2 people wanting to place a bet, agree on a weight, a ref, and a timekeeper, can create "a match" ... and whoever wins or loses is a "winner" or "loser" of "a match" ...

    If you think it will be hard to beat the dog, train 2 dogs, setup an imaginary match before the show. Unfortunately the opponent for the 1st match doesnt show up. Pick up your dog in 25/30 minuts. " Forfeit taker" of the 1st match challenges the winner. Lol. I think every time some things like winning 2 shows in an evening happens, there is something dodgy going on. Or someone would have to think your dog is so shit that he picks up a dog from the chain and contracts it for the same day. Oh well, people are stupid enough to do it.

    I once saw a male win his third and at the show his exploits were that he won his first two on the same night. Two shows set at 38lbs. each. The first set go and it is over rather quickly. One of the two participants of the next show does not show (and this is where I see a calamity of errors) and the winner of #1 offers his up to make the second show happen. The sole reason is to so the host does not have to refund money from the 'gate'. The winner then goes a little over an hour on the 2nd show and wins again.

    His owners logic was that it was late in the year and he had brought the dog out on the cheap for a game check so if it worked it would 'count'. He blew through the first one so he did not really see what he was looking for, although it was a win. He was going to break even money wise either way with the 2nd show so it would basically been two dogging his dog. He picked up #2 during his actual game check because #1 was a wipe out.

    He went two hours for his third the following winter when I saw him. I have never heard mention of this happening til this post so I did not give it much thought. I actually left it as, "it is your story, tell it like you want". I did not see it happen just repeating what I was told. (my part of the calamity of errors).

    I guess it could happen. But I would think there would have to be a serious lack of competition in the first one. I could not see the first one being a grueling test of character and then there being enough left for the second , especially if the second is competition for the winner of the first. The first would have to be a rather easy venture in order for the second to be possible.

    But for me it would be a bad idea all the way around. EWO
