For the 2004-2005 show season, the Northwest Region became the first region to offer awards for the veteran's class. This class is for CFA registered cats that are 7 years or older. They competed strictly in the veteran's class - not Championship or Premiership.
Only shows held within the region were counted for scoring purposes, and 6 shows were scored for the 2004-05 season. Scoring was done in the same way that the Northwest Region scores Household Pets. Points are calculated in the same way they are for any other class - ie Best Veteran gets points equal to the number of entered cats less one, 2nd Best gets 95% of that amount, etc.
There were several of the shows where the Veteran's class had 10-15 veterans present and competing – and the judges were very appreciative of the high quality they saw! Many of the veteran's were previous Regional Winners, DMs, etc.
