9. In the event of a “dead heat” in any of the prize divisions (ie when 2 or more entrants are equal highest point scorers), a
countback system will be used to identify final placings and final winners. Firstly the scores of the concerned entrants will be
recalculated after the points earned from prolapses are removed, and the entrant with the greater score on this measure will be
deemed to win the prize. If the remaining leading entrants are still equal on this measure, the leading entrant with the highest
number of dystocias caused by shistosomas reflexum calves will be deemed the winner. If the remaining leading entrants
are still equal on this measure, these remaining leading entrants will be compared again, and the competitor with the highest
number of dystocias caused by a twisted uterus will be deemed the winner. If after these countbacks, there are still two or
more entrants on equal highest score, then these entrants will be considered joint winners, the nominated prize divided equally
between them, and in the case of the National Calving Champion, all names will be engraved on the trophy as equal winners,
and the trophy will be permitted to be displayed in each of the winner’s employing clinics for a time nominated by the promoter.
10. All of the scoring posters are uniquely numbered, and remain the property of the promoter. These posters are to be returned
to the promoter via the Bayer Territory Manager responsible for the clinic. In order for veterinarian-client confidentiality to be
protected, the veterinary clinic is asked to obscure client names on the posters before they are returned to the Bayer Territory
Manager. All vet scoring sheets are to be filed by the veterinary clinic, and returned to the Bayer Territory Manager responsible
for that clinic at the conclusion of the competition for auditing purposes.
11. To ensure fair play, and the confidence of entrants in the integrity of the competition, the winners scores shall be verified by
the promoter by a review of clinic invoices following completion of the competition period. Only procedures which appear on
legitimate invoices are eligible for points. By allowing the Veterinarians in their employ to enter, the employing veterinary clinic
agrees to allow the winners scores to be verified by the promoter via the viewing of these invoices on site within the clinic.
Invoices will not be copied or removed from the clinic by the promoter. In order to protect veterinarian/client confidentiality,
the veterinary business is asked to obscure client details on copies of invoices and scoring sheets before they are presented
to the promotor for verification. The dates, and procedure performed must, however, be legible. The details on such invoices
shall be treated as confidential and shall not be used by the Promoter for any purpose other than verifying the entrants points.
12. The promoter accepts no responsibility for any competition entries that are incomplete, illegible, corrupted or fail to reach the
promoter for any reason by the relevant closing date
