The PDI knocked out will score 1 point.</p><p><strong>In the Second Round</strong> the judge will look at all the remaining PDI and knock out about 50% - reducing to about 20-25 pictures. The PDI knocked out in this round will score 2 points.</p><p><strong>In the Third Round</strong> the judge will look at all the remaining PDI and reduce to 10 - perhaps a couple more if they cannot be split. &nbsp;The PDI knocked out in this round will score 3 points.</p><p><strong>All of the PDI reaching the Final</strong> will score 4 points. The judge will then pick a Best PDI and, if he/she wishes, a number of Commendations. The Best PDI (only) will be awarded a bonus point.</p><p><strong>The winning club will be the one with the most points.
