CHAMPIONS AND CHAMPIONSHIP POINTS
Chapter 15 of the Conformation Show Rules and Regulations
15.1.1 A dog awarded Winners at a conformation show shall be credited with a number of championship points (ranging from 0 to 5). The number of championship points credited to a dog awarded Winners shall be as provided hereunder.
15.1.2 The schedule to be employed in the determination of the number of points awarded Winners shall be as follows:
* DOGS COMPETING 1 2 3 to 5 6 to 9
POINTS ALLOCATED 0 1 2 3 4 5
* Includes the dog awarded Winners
In counting the number of eligible dogs in competition, a dog that is disqualified, dismissed, excused or ordered from the ring by the judge shall be included in the calculation for championship points.
15.1.3 If a dog awarded Winners is awarded Best of Breed at the show, then all dogs competing in the breed, including Specials Only, shall be included in the total.
15.1.4 If a dog awarded Winners is also awarded Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed, then all dogs of the same sex including those competing for Specials Only shall be included in the total.
15.1.5 If a dog awarded Winners is also awarded Best of Winners, then all dogs defeated directly or indirectly in the breed shall be included in the total.

Clarification:
Example of directly or indirectly defeating: if the Winners Bitch is awarded Best of Opposite Sex but not Best of Winners, the Best of Winners male shall be deemed to have indirectly defeated the Specials Bitches, and is thus entitled to add them to the number of dogs and bitches defeated.
