HOW WAS IT SCORED?
Each person could pick 5 hounds out of the 96 that advanced to the Tournament of Champions Finals to be on their team. Those hounds accrued points, depending on how far they advanced. Coonhound Bloodlines subscribers were allowed to pick an additional dog for their team, giving them an added advantage.

The points were calculated as follows:

  • 1 point for every dog advancing past the first round
  • 5 points for every dog advancing past the second round
  • 10 Bonus points to every dog you have in the Final Cast
  • 20 points awarded to anyone who selects the 2023 Tournament of Champions Winner
