Top of the Club (TOC) & Best of Both (BOB) League Style
Competitions
- At each round there is a “set subject” and an “open category” of competition
- Members can submit up to three images in total for each round.
- This could be one in the “open category”, and two in the set “subject” category -OR- two in the “open category” and one in the “set subject” section
- You can choose to enter just two pictures, one in each category
- You can also choose to enter just one image (either one “set subject ” or one “open category”) but this will reduce your chances of winning any of the annual competitions (TOC PDI, TOC Prints, and BOB)
- The best score from the “set subject” and the best score from the “open category” at each round are used to determine the score for that round
- TOC PDI will be the combined scores from all of the PDI rounds
- TOC1, TOC3, & TOC5
- All members compete in a single class for PDI
- TOC Prints will be the combined scores from all of the Print rounds
- TOC2, TOC4, & TOC6
- There are 2 classes in Prints: Standard, & Advanced
- Best of Both will be the combined scores from all PDI & Print rounds
- TOC1, TOC2, TOC3, TOC4, TOC5, & TOC6
- There are 2 classes in Best of Both: Standard, & Advanced
- Best of Both Standard = Combined TOC PDI score + Combined TOC Prints Standard class score
- Best of Both Advanced = Combined TOC PDI Score + Combined TOC Prints Advanced class score
