In counting the number of eligible dogs in competition, a dog that is disqualified, dismissed, excused or ordered from the ring by the judge shall be included in the calculation for championship points.
SECTION 20.3
If a dog awarded Winners is also awarded Best of Breed at the show, then all dogs competing in the breed, including Specials Only, shall be included in the total.
SECTION 20.4
If a dog awarded Winners is also awarded Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed, then all dogs of the same sex including those competing for Specials Only shall be included in the total.
SECTION 20.5
If a dog awarded Winners is also awarded Best of Winners, then all dogs defeated directly or indirectly in the breed shall be included in the total.
SECTION 20.6
If a dog is awarded Winners only, then all the dogs of the same sex in the class competition shall be included in the total.
SECTION 20.7
The number of championship points to be credited to a dog awarded Winners shall be determined by the highest award earned and calculated as per 20.2

Clarification:
Example of directly or indirectly defeating:   If the Winners Bitch is awarded Best of Opposite Sex but not Best of Winners, the Best of Winners Male shall be deemed to have indirectly defeated the Specials Bitches, and is thus entitled to add them to the number of dogs and bitches defeated.
