Featherweight Vs Heavyweight

So in a bid to sound the population out about their feelings on the matter I have placed a survey up at Zoomerang:
http://www.zoomerang.com/survey.zgi?p=WEB22686NUMSVZ
that addresses some of the more pressing questions about the direction of agility trial formats in the future in this state. Please feel free to participate, particularly if you have an affinity towards seeing a more even playing ground for the non-medium sized dogs. Even if you are an owner of medium sized dogs (especially those black and white herding types) please have your say because it certainly does not preclude you from having strong opinions on the subject.
Currently 95% of our trials are run with overall awards for the classes, i.e the corgis and the paps compete against the BCs and the GSPs for places. It's a bit like the title of this entry. Doesn't mean they cannot qualify but it does tend to mean that in general most won't get a look in for a ribbon if there are many qualifiers.
How do you feel about that? There are various options presented in the survey for you to express exactly how you feel about it, be sure to add your opinion!

Don't live in Aus, so don't think I can respond to your survey appropriately. Would still love to see your Greg Derrett Chapter 4 on Contacts and Weaves, tho.
