A Sweepstakes Contest is run by NYRCBA based on Display Points. All points are calculated on the same basis as ARBA Display points by breed as follows: First place counts as six (6) points; second place as four (4) points; third as three (3) points; fourth as two (2) points; and fifth as one (1) point. The total number of points awarded to an exhibitor is multiplied by the number of specimens exhibited and judged in the class. The grand total is to be the number of points counted in competition. Best of Breed winner receives one (1) times the number exhibited in the breed. Best Opposite Sex of Breed receives one half (1/2) times the number exhibited in the breed. The Annual State Convention Show counts as double points. The State Show Circuit points year runs from July 1 to June 30. To be eligible for point awards, a single exhibitor or members of a group of two or more exhibitors must be members of an NYRCBA all-breed club and compete in at least 30 % of the NYRCBA sanctioned all-breed shows. The points are compiled under the name shown on the state point reports. Except for marital status, no change in names is allowed during the show year. It is the responsibility of the exhibitor to notify the Points Chairperson of any changes in the name under which rabbits are being exhibited that would affect the accurate compiling of state points. Points accumulated under Breed Specialty shows count in that breed’s points only. They do not count under all-breed Display Points.At the Annual State Banquet, awards are presented to the top point winners in each breed and to the first and second runners up in each breed. Awards are also presented to the top five (5) exhibitors, all breeds participating.
