UKC® Point System for the Top Ten Bench Show Dogs
Revised January 1, 2003

UKC will tabulate and publish the Top Ten rankings. The rankings will be published in COONHOUND BLOODLINES and on www.ukcdogs.com on a regular basis.

The point system is based on the number of dogs defeated and the number of dogs shown as reported on the Official Bench Show Report. One point will be deducted from the total of dogs shown in the regular classes as the winning dog is included in that total but did not defeat itself.

(1) The winner of the Best Male of Show will be awarded one point for all males defeated in the classes.

(2) The winner of the Best Female of Show will be awarded one point for all females defeated in the classes.

(3) The winner of the Champions of Champion Male category will be awarded three points for all males defeated in the Champion class.

(4) The winner of the Champions of Champion Female category will be awarded three points for all females defeated in the Champion class.

(5) The winner of the Grand Champion Male category will be awarded four points for all males defeated in the Grand Champion class. Two (2) points will be awarded for dogs shown without competition (in the Grand Champion category only).

(6) The winner of the Grand Champion Female category will be awarded four points for all females defeated in the Grand Champion class. Two (2) points will be awarded for dogs shown without competition (in the Grand Champion category only).

The reason for increasing the number of points earned per category is to equalize the points earned over a year.

The points carry from category to category. If your dog was a Show Champion at the beginning of the year, and finished to a Grand Show Champion, those points would carry on with the dog as it competed in the Grand Champion class.

Points will not be recorded after a dog has completed the requirements for a particular category (i.e. — Champion or Grand Champion). The dog can continue to show in that category until notified by UKC, but will not earn any additional points.

Points may be withheld if it is determined that: 1) owners refuse to show at the next level after completing championship requirements but before receiving UKC notification; or 2) non-competitive dogs are being entered for the purpose of padding points.
