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
