From Instinct to Master

The Regular A path moves from Novice through Master. Instinct is optional, while each later Regular level builds on the title before it.

ShowPoints keeps A-class advancement separate from the optional B-class title paths, so extra results are never quietly carried into the wrong goal.

  • RATIone optional Instinct Q
  • RATNthree Novice A Qs
  • RATOthree Open A Qs after RATN
  • RATSthree Senior A Qs after RATO
  • RATMfive Master A Qs after RATS, under at least two Judges of Record

B titles, RATCH and REMX

After a dog becomes eligible at a level, B-class Qs can build optional titles and repeat titles. Master B can advance more than one path at once.

One eligible fast Master B Q can advance both RATCH or RATCHX progress and REMX. ShowPoints stores the result once and explains each place it counted.

  • RATNX, RATOX and RATSXB-class Qs and repeat titles at Novice, Open and Senior
  • RATCH and RATCHXMaster B Qs, with two Judges of Record for RATCH
  • REMXqualifying Master B runs in 150 seconds or less

Crazy 8s, on its own track

Crazy 8s is independent of the Regular title ladder. Enter the official final points from each run and ShowPoints keeps the total moving toward the next title.

Barn Hunt questions.

Which Barn Hunt titles does ShowPoints track?

RATI, RATN, RATO, RATS, RATM, RATNX, RATOX, RATSX, RATCH, RATCHX, REMX and the Crazy 8s titles, including repeat levels where they apply.

Is the Instinct title required before Novice?

No. RATI is optional and is not required before a dog begins the Novice A path toward RATN.

What is the difference between A and B classes?

A classes advance the main Regular title ladder. Eligible dogs may continue in B classes for optional same-level and championship titles. B titles don’t unlock the next A level, and extra A Qs don’t become B progress.

Can one Master B Q count toward both RATCH and REMX?

Yes. An eligible qualifying Master B run completed in 150 seconds or less can advance RATCH or RATCHX progress and REMX at the same time.

How does ShowPoints track Crazy 8s?

Enter the official final points from the run. ShowPoints totals them separately from Regular Barn Hunt progress and shows the next Crazy 8s title.

Are the counts official?

No. ShowPoints counts progress from the results and earlier titles or balances you enter. Barn Hunt Association’s records are the official ones, and ShowPoints is not affiliated with BHA.
