Number of cats in the breed (2 Bombays, 4 Devon Rex,etc.)

Number of cats in the class
(here, 46 cats in SH Championship)

Total number of
cats in Championship

On this day, judging begins with:
Ring 1 judging SH CH
Ring 2 judging LH CH
Ring 3 judging LH PR

A final may immediately follow its class judging (as it does here) or it may be delayed until later in the schedule to avoid conflicting with another ring.

Because of the larger class sizes, breeds are often (but not always) broken out in Championship judging and numbers of cats in each breed are indicated (as they are here).
With Kittens and Premiership, usually only the numbers of the LH and SH classes and their judging order are given.
Judging usually starts at the beginning of the breed class.

Total number of cats to be judged on that day (225)

HOWEVER, sometimes it is necessary for judging to start in the middle of the class (the Japanese Bobtails or the Solid Persians, for example). Do be aware of this.

Note that there’s not a time for these cats to be judged. Schedules really just indicated judging ORDER for each ring, and approximately how classes in each ring will fall in relationship to each other.
Some shows MAY have a time listed that they anticipate that a class will be judged, but that’s the exception.
**Hint - take a cue from the ring clerks and mark though each class in each ring as it is judged throughout the day - it will help you keep up with how the rings are running and how soon you can expect to be up in a ring.
