XX. Top Ten Competition.

*A. Top Ten points. Top Ten points are automatically awarded at all UKC licensed conformation events to each Best of Breed winner (with the exception of Coonhounds), who receives one point for each dog defeated in breed competition, provided that there are at least two dogs of any sex correctly entered and shown in that breed. Dogs that are disqualified or excused from competition do not count, and shall be deducted from the total number of dogs shown in the breed when calculating the number of Top Ten points earned. Top Ten points are calculated by UKC based on the official event report submitted by the Event Secretary.

B. Top Ten competition year. Top Ten points are calculated from January 1 to December 31 of each year.

C. Publication of Top Ten standings. Regularly updated Top Ten standings will be on www.ukcdogs.com.

D. Corrections to Top Ten standings. Corrections in Top Ten points or standings for any competition year must be promptly reported to UKC. Corrections to the Top Ten Standings received after January 31 of the following year shall not be considered.

E. Top Ten Invitational. The ten top-ranked dogs in each breed may be invited to participate in a Top Ten Invitational competition held in the year following the competition year.

F. Coonhound Top Ten. Rankings points may only be earned at UKC Licensed Hunting/Bench Show events. They cannot be earned at any All- Breed or Multi-Breed shows.
