So here is the Victorian story. At the time of the first importation of budgerigars from England, we in Victoria only had Beginner, Intermediate and open. This created a problem at shows as those who could afford to import birds won everything in open, leaving many well established and respected breeders pondering their future in the hobby. So as I was BCV president at the time I got to gether with Col Flanagan who was BCV secretary and we created the Champion breeder class and the points system, Thereby allowing those who had imported to progress to champion status and those who hadn't could still compete in Open section. It was a way of protecting the hobby in the early stages of importation and I believe it still works well today, but maybe im biased. Cheer Clearwing Link to comment

Here in SA there are very few in intermediate and junior. Link to comment

To be moved up to Champion status,you have to auumlate 60 points,in 3 years,then in champion you have 3years to acumlate 60 points & then each year after that,you drop off off the 1st years points,but still have to have to carry 60 points in to the next year. So you have to be on your game,to keep your points up Link to comment
