This is a question for those who have experience of showing under GCCF rules and possibly other shows who have similar conditions for reaching championship (if there is such a thing).

When you show your fur-child, under GCCF, you have to gain three Challenge Certificates (CCs) under three different judges. Lets say you have entered a cat under these conditions and got two CCs already and are trying for the last one. You have selected a class being judged by someone under whom your cat has not yet been judged and post off your application with the entry fee. Then there is a change of judges - your chosen class is now scheduled to be judged by someone who has seen your cat before. How do you deal with this?
Is it just bad luck - you just go to the show having paid your entrance money and collect your award (or not as the case may be) and hope the next show might offer another chance?
Or can you ring the show manager to change the class that you have entered so that you come under a different judge?
Or, can you ask for your money back and choose not to go?

I think you still go and the CC has to be counter-signed by another judge at the show . .......
But i am sure someone who knows more will be able to answer the question better then me

Yep, Stacey I think you're right - its countersigned and then that does the job if they think your cat still merits it then you get the championship.

Thanks for that!

Yes, as stacey has said already you can have it countersigned by another judge, as long as they agree that the cat is worthy ,and the the change was after the closing date of the show. But you have to inform the show manager before judging commences.
Hope this helps

If this should ever happen then as Jen correctly says Make sure you inform the show manager on the day BEFORE judging starts.......good luck........Chris.

Thanks Raggs and Jen for your replies also - good points. I suppose you'd have to notify the Show Manager when vetting in, then.

I don't have anyone to show at the moment. However, its worth knowing about.
