How the Awards system works.
Points can be earned for achievement in the Field and be Showing according to a points system. The scoring system is shown below:

Keep a list of the events you enter, the date, the venue, class or stakes entered along with where your dog was placed and use the points calculator above to claim the relevant number of points. For example, if your dog is awarded a BIS at a Championship show you would claim 25 points.  The awards year runs from 1st March to the 28th/29th of the following year, so collect up all your points and send your claim to the Trophy Steward to arrive by the 1st March.

Trophies are presented at the AGM to the winners in each category.
