The ace pigeon competition is calculated as follows. Only the “3 best of 4 ace pigeon races” and the final race are eligible for this competition. Of the 4 ace pigeon races, only the 3 best results count. Per race, the first pigeon registered receives 150 points, the 2nd 149 points, the 3rd 148 points, etc. until the 150th registered pigeon. The pigeon with the most points becomes the winner of the ace pigeon competition Belgian Master 2017. In the event that one or more races of the ace pigeon competition are cancelled, no substitute race is provided. In that case, “the least good result is each time omitted” and the final race is taken into account. In order to be classified in the ace pigeon competition, the pigeon concerned must be registered for the final race before 12 PM the day after the release. In the event of exaequo’s, the prizes of the ex-aequo’s are added together and divided by that number.
