previous recognition from the N.P.A. or an N.P.A. affilated specialty club.
4. Only by a unanimous decision made by the "Selection Committee" can a present
Master Breeder being recognized by the N.P.A. or an affilated club be considered

Section 3. Point Clarification
1. Only N.P.A. accepted standards would be permitted for judging at all C.C.P.C
shows.
2. Points are earned only on birds bred by the exhibitor. No points are awarded for
birds obtained from another breeder. If it is revealed that any birds receiving and
were not bred by the exhibitor, then those points will be given to the actual breeder
of the bird if they are a member of the C.C.P.C. Otherwise, the points are deducted
from the total achieved by the nominee of "Master of the Breed".
3. If entries are made under a loft name or joint names etc., then the records will be
kept as such and not divided under separate names. If the parnership is dissolved, the
remaining breeder(s) may petition the "Selection Committee" of the C.C.P.C. to have the
remaining points credited to them. Only by a unanimous decision made by the "Selection
Committee" may the remaining breeder have these points credited to them.
Section 4. Points
1. A nominee must have 500(five-hundred) points and 7(seven) major national
championship wins that are a part of the total points achieved to receive the
"Master of the Breed Award".
2. You must have 10(ten) or more birds in a breed with 3(three) or more
exhibitors not from the same household to receive points.
3. You must have 10(ten) or more birds of the same color with 3(three) or
more exhibitors not from the same household to be considered a "color class" to
receive points.
4. A. Points for champion of breed will be half the total number of birds entered
in the breed.
B. Points for a "color class" will be half the total number of birds in the class.
C. Points will be allowed to carry over from from a "color class" and added
to the overall points for champion of breed.
D. Points will be awarded only to the best of a "color class" and champion
of the breed and the reserve champion of breed.
E. Here is an example how to figure points:
You have 20(twenty) blue birds in a class, class meaning the total cocks
and hens of the same color. The best blue would receive 10(ten) points, {half
of the twenty class entry}. This bird goes to the finals to win champion of
breed with a total breed entry of 50(fifty). The member would receive 25
(twenty-five) points{half of the fifty total breed entry} for a total of 35(thirty-five) points.
5. No points are given for grand champion pouter and cropper, reserve champion pouter
and cropper, best old or young pouter and cropper. These are glory awards.
6. A. When a member achieves 100(one hundred) points of a single color, the
member will be eligible for a "Color Specialty Award".
B. When a member achieves 250(two hundred and fifty) points of a single color, the
member will be eligible for a "Color Specialty Highly Superior Award". Neither of
which will detract from a breeder's ability to obtain the "Master of Breed Award".
Points from these programs will count toward the total points required.
7. Junior members that exhibit their own birds in the senior adult division can
accumulate points if by a unanimous decision from the "Selection Committee"
agree they are the true breeder. A junior member may not exhibit the same bird
