I can't keep how the judging works straight. I can't figure out how the awards system works. My girl won the open class & then took best oposit. How does this work? When are points awarded? At what levels are points awarded? If they go all the way to best of variety and get more points? So if it wasn't a major in the class could it be a major if they win the variety? I'm confused. Can anybody explain this to me please?

I am new to showing too but try this link

They also have a link to see your dogs points but you have to pay for that service. Its 8.00
