2012 RISING STAR OF THE YEAR RULES

These rules should be read in conjunction with
rules covering all pointscore competitions.

Remember - All results need to be submitted to us within 30 days of the event/show.

We strongly recommend that you submit the result the day you receive it to prevent future unforeseen circumstances stopping you from entering it within the 30 day time limit. Entering the result on the same day will also place the result into our Show Results section in a timely manner.

The Rising Star of the Year 2012 competition will be used to recognise National, State and Breed leaders for the up and coming youngsters (up to 18 months of age).

Eligible results can be entered from any All Breeds Championship Show or Specialty Championship Show in Australia.

Only the best 40 results (points value) will be included. The pointscore system will automatically select the best 40 results from the results that are submitted. We recommend that ALL your eligible results are submitted to our system so that they can also be included in our new 'Show Results' section.
Tie-Breaker - In the event that 2 or more dogs have the same number of points, the dog with the most 'Class in Show' wins (out of their top 40 results) will be placed first. If there is still not an outright leader, the number of 'Class in Group' wins (out of the top 40 results) will be counted.
The following results are eligible to be entered and the points that will be allocated are displayed.

Points will be awarded depending on the total entry for the show. You will need to submit the total entry when entering your results.
- Total Show Entry is less that 250
  Junior, Puppy, Minor Puppy or Baby Puppy in Show - 25 points
  Junior, Puppy, Minor Puppy or Baby Puppy in Group - 10 points
  Junior, Puppy, Minor Puppy or Baby Puppy of Breed - 5 points
- Total Show Entry is 250 or more but less than 1000
  Junior, Puppy, Minor Puppy or Baby Puppy in Show - 50 points
  Junior, Puppy, Minor Puppy or Baby Puppy in Group - 20 points
  Junior, Puppy, Minor Puppy or Baby Puppy of Breed - 5 points
- Total Show Entry is 1000 or more
  Junior, Puppy, Minor Puppy or Baby Puppy in Show - 100 points
  Junior, Puppy, Minor Puppy or Baby Puppy in Group - 40 points
  Junior, Puppy, Minor Puppy or Baby Puppy of Breed - 5 points
Only the highest award per exhibit per show will be counted.
At a show where a best of Baby, Minor, Puppy or Junior class is not offered at Group level (in particular most royal shows who only offer best puppy of breed), no points will be awarded for that class.
The following rules apply to the State component of the Rising Star of the Year competition.
- For the purposes of the competition, a dog's 'State', (herein referred to as the 'competition state') will be defined as the state where the dog has been resident for the majority of the year (when actively being shown).
- The state tally will be calculated on the top 40 shows that were held in the dog's competition state. This could result in different shows being counted in the state and national component of the competition.
- Up to 4 results from shows held in a different state or territory to the dog's 'competition state' can be included in the top 40 state tally for a dog. The system will automatically include these if necessary to give the dog the best total.
- In cases where it is difficult to define the 'competition state' we will use our discretion to determine the 'competition state' based on the facts presented. This decision will be final and no correspondence will be entered into.

Certificates will be awarded in the Rising Star Competition for

National Winner
Each State Winner
Each Group Winner (National and State)
Each Breed winner (in the individual breed Rising Star tally)
