Stan was the only SH kitten and so got his 1st open but when this lady (judge) came up to me during the afternoon she did say that she had awarded him somethign and that he had beaten all the other cats in! So really confused. Could it be the case that she gave it to him but other judges didn't agree maybe. At the end of the I only do the shows for fun and not upset about it and I'm so pleased with what they have both won but with the lady coming up to me and saying that I just don't understand what she meant. I'm sure she said he had been given the BIS for non pedigree.
Anyway suppose I'll never know but next time (whcih won't be till march for me now) I will ensure I know how it all works before going.
On a final note, it must of been BIS that she said she had given him as he was in a class of his own and so wouldn't of beaten any other cats if she had been talking about BOC. They do come and get the cats when they announce the BIS don't they and not just announce it and then it is up to the exhibitor to take the cat,?

All open classes are split into genders. Each one that comes first in each gender within that class is eligible for BOB/BOC along with others that have opted in (like a cat in a Grand Premier/Champion/Master class). Each BOB in a section (kitten, neuter, adult) competes for BOV & then the three compete for BOV overall to be up for the BIS.
Do you know who this woman was? TBH I wouldn't take anything someone says until you see it as fact on the results boards or with a rosette on your pen. She could have said he was BOV non-ped kitten. They still need to choose the best overall non-ped out of all of them for BOV. Someone comes & gets the cat & puts it in the BOV pen for BIS then. Though if you didn't get that little purple rosette then I am not sure what you were told was truthful.
He would have been against any other kitten that had BOC. So I am looking at the results at the moment on Cat Planet there were three with BOC for ped kittens & four in the non-ped. So he would have had competition for BOV kitten.
