On this day, judging begins
with:
Ring 1 judging SH CH
Ring 2 judging LH CH
Ring 3 judging LH PR
A final may immediately follow its class judging (as it
does here) or it may be delayed until later in the schedule
to avoid conflicting with another ring.
Because of the larger class sizes, breeds are often (but
not always) broken out in Championship judging and numbers
of cats in each breed are indicated (as they are here).
With Kittens and Premiership, usually only the numbers of
the LH and SH classes and their judging order are given.
Judging usually starts at the beginning of the breed class.
Total number of cats to be judged on that
day (225)
HOWEVER, sometimes it is necessary for judging to start
in the middle of the class (the Japanese Bobtails or the Solid
Persians, for example). Do be aware of this.
Note that there’s not a time for these cats to be
judged. Schedules really just indicated judging ORDER for
each ring, and approximately how classes in each ring will
fall in relationship to each other.
Some shows MAY have a time listed that they anticipate that
a class will be judged, but that’s the exception.
**Hint - take a cue from the ring clerks and mark though
each class in each ring as it is judged throughout the day
- it will help you keep up with how the rings are running
and how soon you can expect to be up in a ring.
