Scoring Household Pets For Regional Awards
In CFA, Household Pets are scored regionally. The
Southwestern region includes Southern California, Nevada and Arizona.
The Southwest region uses the same basic scoring table used for
national and regional scoring in the other classes. Under this formula
the top cat in any ring receives a point for every cat officially
entered who that cat "defeats" in the ring. For example, if there are
100 cats in the class, the top cat would receive 99 ring points. If
there are 20 cats in the Household Pet class, the top cat in each ring
receives 19 ring points.
The second place cat gets 95% of what the first
place cat receives. The third place cat gets 90% of what the first
place cat receives. The fourth place cat gets 85% of what the first
place cat receives. The fifth place cat gets 80%; and the score
continues to drop by 5% for each place until the tenth place cat gets
55% of what the first place cat receives. The eleventh place cat and
below get zero. If only top five are scored (i.e. receive rosettes) in
a show, only the top five receive points. Unlike other associations,
there is no set rule for the number of HHP entries necessary to score
top ten instead of top five; it is up to the club hosting the show.
Most people use a chart to figure the percentages, usually called
the regional or national point calculator. To use the chart, go down
the left side until you reach the number of cats in your class in the
show. Then proceed to the right until you reach the column for your
place finish. For example, if your cat placed sixth of 20 cats, go down
the left margin to 20. Then proceed across to the column under sixth
place. This will yield the number 14.25, which is the point score for
your cat for that ring. You then total all of the rings to get your
cat's total points for that show. Add all of your shows together to get
your total points for the season. In CFA the show season runs from the
beginning of May to the end of April.
Note that the number of cats you would use would be
the number officially in the show. If a cat is in the catalog, but does
not appear for any judging, it does not count for scoring purposes.
However, if a cat is in the catalog, and appears for judging IN ANY
RING the cat is in the show and counts for all rings. For example, in
the typical two day show, if there are 18 cats on Saturday, but only 15
are there on Sunday, the Sunday scoring will still be based on 18 cats
in show.
Once a cat has been judged in 100 rings the
scoring gets a bit more complicated. Only the best 100 rings are
scored, for any given show. So long as the cat has less than 100 rings,
simply add up all of the points. Once it has over 100 rings you begin
to "throw away" rings with fewer points.
