Beginning
Draw Numbers for AKC Licensed Field Trials as
Determined by the Dow Jones Industrial Average Method
American Kennel
Club, Retriever
Field Trial Rules [akc.org]
Chapter 14, Section 4
"Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section
4, any club may, at its election, provide that the order
of running in any one or more stakes at a trial shall
be in the order of the draw beginning with the dog with
the number given at the draw which corresponds with the
last two digits (including digits, if any, to the right
of the decimal point) of the closing Dow Jones Industrial
Average (the 'DJIA Number') on the Tuesday immediately
preceding the trial or, if the New York Stock Exchange
is not open for business on such Tuesday, then the most
recent day prior to such Tuesday when the New York Stock
Exchange is open for business, and continuing thereafter
in numerical sequence. If the DJIA Number is 00, the dog
given number one at the draw shall be the first running
dog. If the DJIA Number is greater than the number of
dogs entered in a stake, the number equal to the number
of dogs entered in such stake shall be subtracted from
the DJIA number and such stake shall begin with the dog
with the number given at the draw which corresponds with
the number resulting from such subtraction (the 'Second
DJIA Number') and continue thereafter in numerial sequence.
If the Second DJIA Number is greater than the number of
dogs entered at such stake, such subtraction process shall
be repeated as many times as necessary (subtracting from
the Second DJIA Number and each subsequent resulting number,
if any, the number of dogs entered at such stake) until
the number resulting from such subtraction corresponds
with a number given at the draw to a dog entered in such
stake and such shall begin with such dog and continue
thereafter in numerial sequence. Notice of such election
shall be included in the premium list sent to prospective
contestants by the club." Effective,
