Competition Tasmanian Exhibitor of the Year Statewide Newsletter (from Jan. 2010) The B.C.T. has brought together the 3 Clubs within Tasmania to create a sound system for breeding and exhibiting Budgerigars.

B . C . T . I N F O R M A T I O N Challenge Certificates Challenge Certificates are awarded for the best of variety in Young and Any Age Sections of Open Shows and for the winners of classes at the Annual State Shield Show. Where shows provide separate sections for Novice, Intermediate and Open exhibitors the winners of Best in Variety in each section compete for the over all Challenge Certificates. This scheme is designed to give all exhibitors the chance to have birds compete for Challenge Certificates without jeopardising eligibility to exhibit at their own status. Three levels of Certificate are issued: 1 [star] certificate is issued when more than one bird and fewer than ten birds are exhibited. 2 [star] certificate is issued when ten to twenty-seven birds are exhibited. 3 [star] certificate is issued when twenty eight or more birds are exhibited.

Champion Birds Points are allocated to birds on the basis of one point per star. A bird is declared a Champion Bird when it gains Nine Points at least three of which have been won in Any Age competition.
