Quality Points

This is a separate total for keeping track of BOB and BOSB wins.
The top Jersey Wooly of the year is based on these points.

BOB =  2 points X the number of rabbits in the breed.
BOSB = 1 point X the number of rabbits in the breed of that sex.


"Herdsman of the Year"

The intent of the Herdsman Contest is to highlight the overall quality of a
breeders herd by combining the quality and quantity of rabbits a breeder has
won BOB* or BOS* with.  

This category keeps track of how many points are won by rabbits winning
BOB* and/or BOS* for a breeder. The points for each breeder are
combined at year end to determine the standings.

Rabbits winning a BOB*  are awarded 2 points
Rabbits winning a BOS* are awarded 1 point.

Each rabbit can win a minimum of 1 point*, and a maximum of 3 points per
sweepstakes year toward the Herdsman award, with any additional points over
those 3 not being counted.  

*In order to qualify for Herdsman points, the BOB or BOS rabbit must meet the
ARBA requirements to win a leg of Grand Champion
