OFFICIAL CLASSES
The Championship includes four official classes, divided into “CHAMPIONS” and “OPEN”. The “Open” class is for those who have never won in that category, and they will remain in this class for one year even after a single win. One calendar year is counted from the first gold, and only after the second gold will the groomer be required to move up to the “Champions” class. The following year, they will therefore be admitted to the “Champions” class only in the category in which they won. The “Champions” class is for those who have already won competitions in the same category in which they are competing. Best In Show will be chosen from among the 8 winners of the official classes.

UNOFFICIAL CLASSES
The Championship is open to all groomers, offering the chance to compete and show their skills in this high-level competition. The Beginners, Intermediate, Commercial and Asian Style classes will have a single class and will not take part in the Best in Show run-off. Participants in the Beginners class who were not selected as finalists have the opportunity to improve their work and receive feedback from the same judges who evaluated them in the morning.
