How to determine Regional/National Points Points are awarded in the following manner based on the wins achieved in each ring and the official show count of cats/kittens in competition. Regional/National Points are only accumulated during a single show season (first weekend in May to last weekend in April), and do not carry over into the next season.

Eligible Wins

Best cat/kitten - one point for each cat/kitten defeated. 2nd Best cat/kitten - 95% of the points awarded to best cat/kitten, 3rd best cat/kitten 90%, 4th best 85%, 5th best 80%, etc. Best of breed/division - one point for each cat defeated within the breed/division. 2nd best of breed/division - 95% of the points awarded to best of breed/division. Points achieved in individual rings are added to determine an entry's total points for the show. Regional/National Points Scoring

At the completion of the show season, a cat/kitten will be credited with the points from its highest 100 individual rings (40 for kittens).

If a cat is exhibited in shows totaling 100 rings or less (40 rings for kittens) total credited points will be the sum of total points earned.

All points credited must be earned while competing as a particular color. Cats/kittens that have earned points under more than one color description will only receive those points earned under the color description for which they were eligible and last shown (see show rule 2.08).

In order to be eligible for a regional award, a cat/kitten must be shown at least once in the region of final assignment (see regional assignment section). Breed/Color specialty rings which provide a judging(s) beyond the number of judgings available to other entries will not be scored for National/Regional points.
