The Delaney System ranks dogs that place first through fourth in any obedience class. One point is earned for each dog defeated in the class competition. In a class of twenty competing dogs the first place winner would receive 19 points as it defeated this number. The second placing dog would receive 18 points, third place 17 points and fourth place 16 points. Points in each class are awarded based on the number of dogs competing in that class.
