ACCC VERSATILITY PROGRAM TITLES & RULES

UPDATED REVISION: 03/30/2011

VERSATILITY CERTIFICATE EXCELLENT (VCX) - Requires a total of 9 points earned from a minimum of three categories with a minimum of 2 points from each category.

VERSATILITY CERTIFICATE MASTER (VCM) - Requires a total of 12 points earned from a minimum of four categories with a minimum of 2 points from each category.

Points are additive, i.e. an AKC Champion earns three (3) points and an AKC Group Placement earns two (2) points; therefore, a Champion with a Group Placement earns five (5) points. Points CANNOT be awarded more than once for the same item, therefore, one Group Placement earns two (2) points, additional Group Placements DO NOT earn additional points. A CD earns three (3) points; a CDX earns two (2) points for a total of five (5) points. Please remember, the emphasis here is versatility, the ability to do a variety of things, not the same thing over and over.
