RACCS Points System
So how does this points thing work? Firstly, cats must be owned by RACCS members to qualify for points. The points are allocated for wins at GCCF and GCCFI shows. The points allocated for awards gained are shown in the tables further down this page.

The RACCS points year runs from 1 January to 31 December and we offer awards for all the Club breed colours. The winners, and all the members' cats who have gained points, are listed on the RACCS website at the end of each year when all the points have been counted. The prizes for the top cats in each category are awarded at the RACCS AGM, held in March each year.

Send us your show results
The RACCS website publishes Abyssinian and Russian show results in the Show Results section. These results are sent in by club members and list all the Open, Grand, Imperial and Olympian class placings for all the Abyssinians and Russians at each show. It is important to include all the placings gained by both Russians and Abyssinians to give a clear picture of how well represented the two breeds are, so even if you only show Abyssinians, please record the Russian results and vice versa.

We will only post complete results on the RACCS website for each show and points will only be counted from the published reports, so please keep this in mind when marking up your results on show day. When you have completed your list of Open, Grand, Imperial, Olympian and Assessment class winners for the show you have attended please e-mail us: raccs@hotmail.co.uk to ensure all your cats points are counted. Scans or photocopies of the show catalogue with results marked are ideal to ensure you include all the required details.

How many points can you win?
The tables below show the number of points allocated for placings and awards gained at GCCF shows from 2011 onwards. More points are awarded for cats winning at a specialist breed show (ie the ACC, ACA and RBBA shows) and the Supreme shows in recognition of their status. Points gained by members' cats at GCCFI shows in Ireland are also counted.

The amount of points gained depends on what prizes your cat wins. For example, if your cat wins 1st place in their Open class, plus the Premier Certificate and Best of Breed, they would be awarded 10 RACCS points (1st & PC=5, BoB =5).
