MASCA 2009 Nationals MVA rules
2009 HIT HIL scoring

Herding
The maximum number of herding points available is 17. The maximum
available to any dog who has not achieved a herding championship is 14.
To determine your dog's points, figure out the highest-earning title
combination your dog has (for example, ASCA OTDs and OTDd are 9 points).
Then for titles in additional venues, for any title higher in level than
an instinct test, add one point up to two points total (for example, an
AKC PT would be one additional point, and an AHBA HTDI would be worth
one additional point). Multiple instinct tests in multiple venues are
worth one point total. When submitting your herding points earned, a
minimum of 50% of those points earned must be from a judged trial such
as ASCA, AHBA and AKC venues offer, and the remaining amount can be
earned from time and points trials such as the NAMASCUSA herding venue offers.

A WTCh or HCh or HC is worth 15 points.
Any two ATDor mHAD (using different type stock), or HX or HTDIII/HRDIII/HTADIII
titles (cattle, sheep, goats, geese, or ducks, A, B, or C course)
are worth 13 points.
Any one ATD or mHAD, or HX or HTDIII/HRDIII/ HTADIII is worth 12 points.
Three OTD or mHOD (using different type stock) or HI or HTDII/HRDII/HTADII
titles are worth 10 points.
Any two OTD or mHOD (using different type stock) or HI or HTDII/HRDII/HTADII
titles are worth 9 points.

HTDI/HRDI/HTADI titles or (cattle, sheep, goats, geese, or ducks; in AKC,
