Jonneth, I appreciate the response, and please be assured, I do not want to stop the comments. I've enjoyed the discussion and just wanted to throw out a little history. :).
I'm not real sure the AFSA people would want to course at one of my events. I've read comments on this list, long before you arrived to liven things up, that our courses were too short and "dangerous". We run very simple courses, as someone else pointed out, most of our puppers are couch potatoes and not the finely honed and toned hounds they were when they came off the track. My greatest concern is injuries on the course and preventing them. Training our people, making sure they know what they are doing is the biggest thing we can do to keep this from happening. From there, we have a wide world of fun things we can do and places we can go. So, please continue to discuss, ask and search, I'm learning now as well and hope it continues.

I wanted to caveat my own words from last week -- I certainly never meant to imply that anyone should be kept from coursing at SCA sponsored events -- but it would be nice to allow groups to course as an SCA group but also as an AFSA or whatever sanctioned group. Which might simply be a local issue and not something all groups want to do. I think the idea in discussing it here is to make it an option. The interest in coursing is making a comeback and seems to be spreading to areas where it has either never been, or in places it hasn't been in some time. *Coupling* events would allow more people to enter events, and would spark larger turnout.
