Scoring Guide - TICA NW Region

Scoring Your Cat
International and Title Points

Kittens are not awarded titles. Adult cats are 8 months or older. Points start accumulating with a cat's first adult show. Any balance of points from a previous title will be applied toward the next title. Alters can either keep the titles and points won as a whole cat or they can start over again.

Title points are computed by using the final award points plus Best of Color and Best of Division points. Cat count is not taken into consideration.

A cat taking a Best in both Color (25 points) and Division (25 points), plus a 5th AB (160 points) would get 210 points towards a Title.

Best of Color (BOC) Points Best of Division (BOD) Points
1=25 2=20 3=15 4=10 5=5 1=25 2=20 3=15

For Regional / International Points

For all adult cats, the Top 50 rings are used for computing season scores. For all kittens, the Top 30 rings are used.

Points are computed by using the final award points plus cats defeated. Color and Division points are not used for scoring Regional / International points.

Final Award Points are as follows:

Allbreed Final Points		Specialty Final Points
	1 = 200		1 = 150
	2 = 190		2 = 140
	3 = 180		3 = 130
	4 = 170		4 = 120
	5 = 160		5 = 110
	6 = 150		6 = 100
	7 = 140		7 = 90
	8 = 130		8 = 80
	9 = 120		9 = 70
	10 = 110		10 = 60
