  1. An index figure will be allocated to each sex, also to mixed dog and bitch classes in each breed.. This index figure is arrived at by dividing the total number of valid exhibis at championship shows by the number of shows at which Green Stars were offered, during the previous year ending 30th June, in that breed.
  2. Where the total number of eligible exhibits actually shown ( in the dog, bitch or mixed classes as the case may be)  is equal to index figure, then five Green Star points will be awarded, for every 20% below the index figure one point will be deducted and for every 20% above the index figure, one point will be added. All Green Star points will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number.

The following examples may be of interest.

Index figures say 8 8 eligible exhibits shown, then Green Star points = 5
