The single highest point value earned in each Event Type will be used in tabulating a challengers’ points.

In the event of a tie, the following tie breakers will be used in this order:

  • Number of Event Types qualified in
  • Total number of classes qualified in
  • Total number of classes participated in
  • Highest point value eligible for, not including Conformation

If scores are still tied, two awards at that place will be given, and the subsequent place will be skipped (e.g. 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 4th). If necessary, duplicate prize may be obtained after the event and mailed to the second winner.
