There will be an Annual Point Score Award System for Irish Setters commencing with Melbourne Royal September 2010 and concluding at the nominated show in  2011  The aim of the competition is to acknowledge and promote competition at breed level.

Points for the Dog and Bitch of the Year awards can be won at the nominated Championship Shows Three points for a Challenge award and one point for a Reserve Challenge award. 

There will be no additional points for best of Breed. Points are to be awarded for Challenge and Reserve Challenge wins ONLY.

Only financial member of the Irish Setter Club of Victoria Inc are eligible to compete for Point Score awards.  In order to be able to amass points towards a Point Score Award at a nominated Show, the exhibitor must be a current financial member of the ISCV on the day that they competed at the event.  (i.e. an exhibitor who is not a financial member of the ISCV, cannot compete at say four [4] shows, then join the ISCV and apply to have the points gained at the four [4] shows counted towards the Awards).

Where an exhibit is owned by two [2] or more separate exhibitors, all exhibitors in the ownership group must be members of the Irish Setter Club of Victoria Inc. in their own right, to be eligible.

The ISCV will appoint a Points Score Officer who will keep a progressive tally of the points score competition. This will be published in the Irish Indeed. It will be the responsibility of members to check their points each month and advise the Point Score Officer of any discrepancies. Results, giving date, show, judge, owner, dog’s name are to reach the Pointscore Keeper within thirty days of the show.

The nominated Shows  will be listed in The Irish Indeed.
