HOW TO TABULATE POINTS
You will see how to figure
the points when your dog or bitch wins the Winners Class, Best of Winners,
Best of Opposite Sex or Best of Breed.
In the show catalog you will
see a schedule of points for your breed that will look similar to this:
To figure your points, count
dogs competing in the regular classes of your dog's sex. Then compare that
number to the point schedule in your catalog.
EXAMPLE:
Total of class dogs
******
Total of class bitches
*****
Winners Dog (6 dogs
= 2 pts)
Winners Bitch (5 bitches
= 3 pts)
TIPS:
When counting dogs in competition,
you only count dogs present that are defeated. Dogs that are disqualified,
dismissed, excused or have all awards withheld do not count. Also, any
class dog that is moved up to Best of Breed is counted as Champion, not
a class dog.
HOW TO FIGURE POINTS IF
YOUR CLASS DOG OR
BITCH GOES BEST OF BREED
Count regular class dogs
in your sex, plus all move ups & Champions of both sexes entered for
Best of Breed competition. Absentees do not count.
EXAMPLE:
Total of class dogs
******
Total of class bitches
*****
Total of Champion dogs
****
Total of Champion bitches
****

Winners Dog goes Best of Breed (6 class dogs plus 8 Champions - 14 dogs = 4 pts)
Winners Bitch goes Best of Breed (5 class bitches plus 8 Champions - 13 bitches = 5 pts)
TIPS:
Veteran dogs or any other
non-regular class dogs are not counted in determining points.
HOW TO FIGURE POINTS
IF YOUR CLASS DOG OR
BITCH GOES BEST OF OPPOSITE
SEX
Count class dogs in your
sex plus all Champions & move ups, only of the same sex, that competed
for Best of Breed.
EXAMPLE:
Total of class dogs
******
Total of class bitches
*****
Total of Champion dogs
****
Total of Champion bitches
****

Winners Dog goes Best of Opposite Sex (6 class dogs plus 4 Ch dogs - 10 dogs = 3 pts)
Winners Bitch goes Best of Opposite Sex (5 class bitches plus 4 Ch bitches - 9 bitches = 4 pts)
HOW TO FIGURE POINTS FOR BEST
OF WINNERS
Count points first for Winners
Dog, then for Winners Bitch. Whichever is awarded Best of Winners will
receive the highest number.
EXAMPLE:
Total of class dogs
******
Total of class bitches
*****
Total of Champion dogs
****
Total of Champion bitches
****

Winners Dog goes Best of Winners over the WB (2 pts in dogs - 3 pts in bitches - BOW = 3 pts)
Winners Bitch goes Best of Winners over the WD (2 pts in dogs - 3 pts in bitches - BOW = 3 pts)
TIPS:
You only get the highest
point count - you can't add points together.
Example: WD gets 2 pts &
BOW is 3 pts. The award is 3 pts, not 5 pts.
It is important if a class
dog or bitch is awarded Best of Opposite Sex to figure those points before
figuring BOW.
