It was given as a directive to the judges last year. It is being done less and less. Revenue being one of the reasons. .....However, the other reason is it is felt that it is a cheap way of winning a Championship title, dogs having less competition against dogs of their own sex. I've had dogs obtain their Championship by crossing over points.
