I downloaded the information since I am judging in a few weeks and needed to understand the program. I think I now know who I can award this to, and when. What it does not say, is why. There seems to be nothing to inform a judge who should get the points, (and I still don't understand the point system, but it somehow matches the show points), but nothing tells me what I am judging on when I award it. If I understand it correctly I can award it to any champion who is a champion at the show, and goes BOB or BOS, and two others, who are champions on that day. I guess if someone finishes at the show, they are not eligible since they weren't champions when entered. There is also something about Select, but since I don't expect to be awarding anything Select, I ignored that part of it. But, any judges should try to understand that as well. Maybe Peggy can correct me, and inform all of us.
