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 February to the 31st January of the following year, so collect up all your points and send your claim to the Trophy Steward to arrive by the 15th February.
