Questions re show judging!

Hi all
as some of you know I am new to showing and attended my first official gccf show on sat. I am still getting confused to the BOB and BIS judging.

1) BOB I notice that Ollie got 1st in his open class (there were two silver mc's) and then another kitten got BOB who wasn't in the same class as she was a female in a class of her own. So would they of added all the cats in the whole MC section together to pick the BOB? Just looked on cat planet and this can't eb the case as there are a few BOB??? I'm confused

BIS now do they choose one cat or kitten from each pedigree i.e 1 persian, 1 pet, 1 MC etc???? When I went to my first show (pet south ribble show) there was a BIS kitten, junior and adult whcih was ncie and clear but at yesterday's show there was one kitten (kiliper's eyptian mau and gorgous!) and then all the others were adults but differant breeds. At a point in the day a certain lady came up to me and said that it hadn't been annoounced yet but my Stan had got BIS kitten but then when the time came another cat was choosen (and went on to win though!) Now how do they choose the BIS cats, does each judge choose their won and the results added together? Confused here too?

Now last quick question is about all the champion status things, haven't got a clue at all about these so any advice at all would be very useful.

Sorry to bother everyone again but it is all so confusing!!
Thanks
Allison
