Each year NCTHDA has an award for the highest pointed Border Collie and also the highest pointed Loose Eyed Breed. The points system is as follows: Points come from top 10 trials. Six (6) points for first place, 5 pts for second, 4 pts for third, 3 pts for forth, 2 pts for 5th and 1 pt for qualifying. There are 5 additional pts for High in Trial and 4 additional pts for Reserve HIT. The award is made for points are accumulated for each calendar year January 1 - December 31. The points are accumulative. As an example; at a given trial the dog could accumulate 3 points by qualifying in B course Started Sheep, A course Intermediate Sheep and A course Advanced Ducks. Then if one of those scores was a first place the dog would be credited with an additional 6 points. An additional 5 or 4 points would be credited if the dog was High In trial or Reserve High In Trial. Also, additional placements of say 3rd and 5th would earn and additional 6 points. NOTICE: If you have accumulated points so far this year, please send the information to Mary Campbell. Mary wants the trial points forwarded to her by 1/31/2009. You can e-mail to Mary at mc4udmxhs@yahoo.com. She needs dog's name, trial with date, placement or qualifying and # of points. OK - so you don't remember what your dog did at a particular trial.
