CATEGORY A Events
CAT A events for 2017 have been unanimously voted on by the Whippet News team based on previous attendances, format variation, sponsorship, prize money and their provision of races for dogs of varying ability.  They are considered to be events where organisers have made a great effort and should be rewarded as such.  The hope being that other organisers will strive to produce events of similar standard.  Events in this category shall be reviewed on an annual basis.
Dog & Bitch Finals – 1st 8pts, 2nd 7pts, 3rd 6pts, 4th 5pts, 5th 4pts, Class 3pts, Heat 2pts. Sup 2pts
One Final – 1st 10pts, 2nd 9pts, 3rd 8pts, 4th 6pts, 5th 4pts (if not run off in final only class scores) Class 3pts, Heat 2pts
 
CATEGORY B Events

ALTERNATIVE TOP TEN
Any open within the Top Ten Calendar staging racing that caters for non open class dogs (deemed as such at the discretion of the club/organisers) in the form of time racing, maiden racing, last chance racing will be included in this competition.  
All Category B Events held by clubs MUST provide a class for this competition.
The intention being that introducing additional classes does not deter dogs away from the main open but boosts entry by catering for dogs that wouldn’t usually be entered at open races.
