CFA Centennial Cup Challenge

 

Concept:  A series of pre-determined, designated CFA Cat Shows where cumulative scoring in the region of record only will be kept in order to determine the highest-scoring cat in Championship, Premiership, Kitten and Agility that meets the Rules for Participation.  Winner for each category will be awarded the title of Centennial Celebration Challenge Winner for each CFA Region and the International Division. This competition is an effort to promote CFA Cat Show and Agility competition to the public and further raise awareness of CFA and promote the versatility and beauty of our cats to the public.  At the end of competition we will have on-line voting for Centennial Celebration Challenge Best of the Best - CFA Cat Idol.  Only the CFA CCC Regional Winners will all qualify to participate in this phase of the competition.  CFA members and the public may cast votes.

 

2005-2006 Rules for Participation: 

 

1.                                  Points are accumulated by participation at the Centennial Celebration Challenge (CCC) designated shows within the exhibitor’s region of record only. 

 

2.                                  Points shall be accumulated by show rather than by Ring.  All the points received in every ring of a specific CCC show will be considered the total points for that show.  Points counting toward the Centennial Celebration Challenge shall be from only such designated shows and shall only be recorded in the region of record.  Points earned at designated shows outside the region of record shall not count toward the Centennial Celebration Challenge.  None of the scoring of the Centennial Celebration Challenge will in any way affect the points earned toward Regional/National or any other awards.  At the completion of the Centennial Celebration Challenge designated shows for the 2005-2006 show season, a cat/kitten will be credited with the points from all its Centennial Celebration Challenge shows.

 

3.                                 Designated shows shall take place between Dec. 1, 2005 and April 30, 2006.

 

4.                                 The Championship and Premiership series of shows shall consist of 10 shows total for each region, 2 per month, for the 7 regions in the mainland US and Canada.  The Championship and Premiership series shall be 4 shows total for Region 8 and the International Division. 

 

5.                                 The Kitten series shall be any of the 10 specified regional shows, or any of the 4 for Japan and International Division, that fall within the 4 to 8 month time frame for a kitten.

12.                             Agility Competition Exhibitors in the US mainland and Canada, Japan or International Division may compete in any or all shows within their region of record for scoring that hold Agility competition.  The winner will be determined by the fastest time on record in the region of record.

14.                             A participant may compete in only one category of judging: Championship, Premiership or Kittens.  However, a participant may also compete in Agility in addition to the other specified category.  

 

15.                             The winner in each category shall be determined after the final CCC designated show of the 2005-2006 show season.  The results will be tabulated to determine the highest cumulative score for each category for each region.

 

16.                             The awards for each category shall be presented at each Regional Awards Banquet.

18.                             After the CCC Regional winners are announced all members of CFA and the public will have an opportunity to vote for the Centennial Celebration Challenge Best of the Best – CFA Cat Idol.  Only the CCC Regional Winners in each category shall qualify to participate in the voting.

 

19.                             Voting will be done on-line with an Official Ballot.  Each ballot must clearly specify which cat gets the vote.  You may only name one cat per ballot. Ballots must be received by June 10, 2006 to be tabulated. 

 

20.                            All Regional CCC Winners are encouraged to participate in the 2006 CFA Annual Awards Banquet where the cat with the highest number of votes will be named Centennial Celebration Challenge Best of the Best - CFA Cat Idol winner.  A presentation will be made with a special award given to the winner.
