National Dog Show

The show is taped — picks close when it airs. No peeking; it's the honor system.

When a breed you picked wins a ribbon, you score. Ribbons add up, so a Best in Show winner also collects its Best of Breed and Group 1st points.

Your top pick in each group counts more than your third pick: one and a half times its points, while a third pick counts for half. A second pick counts as is. The big three shows count double. A few small bonuses can add to that, like points for the dogs a group winner beat.
