Conformation Points

[stone]

Merv took a wicket with the last ball of one over, the last wicket of the innings with the first ball of his next over & a wicket with his first ball of the next innings.

From memory, all wickets weren't even taken on the same day.

Edit.

It was a test match.

As for the R/U BIS thing.

While the specialty example is valid. In reality BIS speciality is akin to BOB. R/U BOB

It is within the realms of possibility, but highly improbable, that the R/U best at the Sydney Royal could beat 4,000+ dogs & still not be awarded any championship points.

Thanks for the explanation of Merv's hat trick - that makes sense.

With the RUBIS at Sydney Royal - I dont think it could be done as none of the RUBOB go through to compete at group - group is like at adelaide where it is BIG 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th - same for in show. (BIS, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th)

Spring Fair then........beat 1200....no points

Even at a specialty though, where the entry can be 100 or more and sometimes more than a group entry at an all breeds show, it would be a real kick in the guts to come runner up in show, beat some of the best dogs of the same breed in the country, and get no points. And even beat the opposite challenge winner who would have got points (probably 25).

I just recently heard of a GSD bitch that did just this... Res Ch Bitch, RUBOB, RUBIG, RUBIS, and she only needed 1 point to gain her title ;) ... True story, although it happened many, many years ago...

Heartbreaking, but them's the breaks.

And it probably happens more often than not in breed.

There can only be one winner per sex.

And whats to say there aren't ten better examples in the BOB & R/U BOB side of the draw?
