Neuter Competition 2016 Rules

These rules should be read in conjunction with the rules covering all pointscore competitions.

The 2016 Neuter Competition will recognise the National, State and Breed leaders for the neuter class.

  • The following results are eligible to be entered and the points that will be allocated are displayed.
     
    • Applicable Neuter Class (Puppy, Junior, Intermediate or Open) in Show - 35 points
    • Applicable Neuter Class (Puppy, Junior, Intermediate or Open) in Group - 15 points
    • Best Neuter of Breed - 5 points
       
  • Only the best 40 results (points value) will be included. The pointscore system will automatically select the best 40 results from the results that are submitted.
  • Tie-Breaker - In the event that 2 or more dogs have the same number of points, the dog with the most 'Neuter Class in Show' wins (out of their top 40 results) will be placed first. If there is still not an outright leader, the number of 'Neuter Class in Group' wins (out of the top 40 results) will be counted.
  • Only the highest award per exhibit per show will be counted.
  • The following rules apply to the State component of the Neuter competition.
     
    • For the purposes of the pointscore, a dog's 'Competition State' will be defined as the state where the dog is intended to reside for the majority of the year when actively shown. Once the competition state is selected, this will generally not be able to be changed during the year.
    • The state tally will be calculated on the top 40 shows that were held in the dog's 'competition state' only. This could result in different shows being counted in the state and national component of the competition.
    • Whilst the competition state generally will not be changed once it is selected, we reserve the right to change the competition state for a dog if circumstances warrant it. Our decision will be final and no correspondence will be entered into.
       
  • Certificates will be awarded in the 2016 Neuter Competition for
     
    • National Winner
    • Each State Winner
    • Each Group Winner (National and State)
    • Each National Breed Winner
    • Each State Breed Winner (if not a National Breed Winner))
