To be included an exhibit must have entered at least one Regional Event - entry at the British Sieger only will not be sufficient although points can be gained at the British Sieger.
The grading is as important as the placing and an animal which is first or second in a class but does not receive the top grade possible for its age will not receive any points.
For final points and placings to be confirmed the health test results of each exhibit must satisfy the requirements of a UK breed survey or Korung. Owners have up to 20 February in the following year to submit health test results to the awards administrator for verification. In the event of an appeal of a health test result which has not been confirmed by 20 February, the original score will be used for verification purposes. Any exhibit without confirmed satisfactory health test results by this date will not be included in the final listings for the year.
