Selecting the Travel Team

Team Australia will be comprised of the top point holders using the highest pointscore leader board derived from the sanctioned shows. Five representatives will be selected from the scoreboard. 

In the event that 2 or more grooming exhibitors have the same number of points, the participant with the most number of 'Best in Group 1st' will be placed first. If there is still not an outright leader, the  the number of 'Best in Group 2nd' wins will be counted  and then if necessary 'Best In Group 3'  

If the Travel Team is still undecided , the committee members will convene a meeting for a final vote.

DA National Grooming Team is an approximate 2 years commitment. 

All associated travel costs involved with Team Australia are a shared responsibility from each team member.
They are required to raise funds individually as well as group fundraising should it become available.
