Brandon, the field trials are run on a predetermined course through the woods. Before each group of dogs runs the course, someone pulls a drag with coonscent from the start to the tree. At the tree, there is a taxi coon. Dogs are judged by two things. First dog to cross the line, and the first dog to actually bark treed. Hence, line and tree. A dog could essentially get points for just line, or just tree, or both line and tree. Hope this helps.

Brandon,
