- 2019 and 2020 CCC participants will be active immediately with verification of camp attended at time of point voucher upload from shows.

Point Earnings & Calculations:
- Points are awarded in showmanship classes only. (Market & Breeding Class results do not count) Virtual Showmanship Contests are eligible for point earnings.
- Point values reflect class placing based on the number of contestants in the class with a maximum of 25 points obtainable per class before being multiplied by Show Weight.
- Points are weighted based on the level of the show. (see Show Categories & Weights)
- Callback classes will establish the point value based on the total number of showmen making the cut/callback. For Example: If 15 total showmen are called back from 3 heats, the total in the class is 15.
First place carries 15 points, multiplied by Show Weight.
6. Peewee/Novice - if the show does not “place” showmen, then 1 point x Show Weight is earned.
