High Points Rules
NEBCA High Points Competition
Rules for Assigning Points
Approved January 2002 at the Annual Meeting
(Printed in the Spring 2002 Newsletter)
(Revised January 2007(*))
Handler must be a member in good standing of NEBCA prior to participating.
In a trial of 52 or less dogs, the top 10 dogs will earn points towards the High Points Competition (HPC). In a trial of 53 or more dogs, the top 20% (rounded up) will earn points toward the HPC. Each dog will earn as many points as dogs they place above at that trial. Only NEBCA dogs will earn points but only for the placing they receive.
At the end of the season, all points for each dog's best 12 trials will be tallied using the 12 trials in which it attained the most NEBCA points. In an effort to encourage handlers to compete at a variety of trials, no more than 6 trials per state/province* will be included in a dog's 12 best trials.
Awards will be made to the Top Ten High Point Dogs. If two dogs are tied for a Top Ten High Point Award, then the next trial in which points are obtained will be counted. If still tied, then the number of wins (first place) will be counted.
