International Rules

11 Champions + 2 Reserves & 11 Novices + 2 Reserves from each Country.

Any four highest pointed birds from each exhibitor to count towards the points total.

Minimum of 14 Points to be achieved by each exhibitor to remain on the team for the following year.

Any Team member not showing after agreeing to be a team member or not gaining the minimum points will automatically stay out of the team for Three Years.

If a team member is Judging an International Show then this will not debar him from the team the following year.

Team members are selected by recommendation and invitation by your residing Country.

It was agreed in 2017 that we still aim for a maximum of 11 Champions and 11 Novices with 2 reserves per Champion and Novice Sections. If this cannot be achieved by any one Country (Not Counting Ireland North / South Combined because due to import restrictions they only ever manage 3 or 4 exhibitors showing) then we only use the points scored by the same numbers of team members per Country Champion and Novice Sections using the 4 maximum points from each member.
