Points Tabulation

HOW TO TABULATE POINTS

This document has been created for you by Jack Onofrio Dog Shows to help you understand the point schedule & how Championship points are tabulated.

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.


Work through the following examples & see if you agree with our answers. We have put together a sample judge's sheet to help you understand some of the possibilities.




WD (2 pts)
WB (3 pts)
WD goes BOW over WB (3 pts)
WB goes BOW over WD (3 pts)
WD goes BOB (4 pts)
WB goes BOB (5 pts)
WD goes BOS (3 pts)
WB goes BOS (4 pts)
WD goes BOW, WB goes BOS - Points for WD are (4 pts)


We hope the foregoing has helped you understand the point system, thus adding to your enjoyment of dog shows.

Should you have additional questions please refer to Chapter 16, Section 1, Rules Applying to Dog Shows or discuss the matter with one of our superintendents at the show.
