- Following the conclusion of the event, all of the entries will be auctioned on the www.nbrc.us auction site. All buyers will be responsible for pick-up or shipping costs. A new shipping box will be charged to all buyers unless they are picking the bird or birds up in person. Any birds not sold in the auction, or birds that are not paid for, become the property of the NBRC and may be disposed of at the discretion of the loft manager. Payouts for the auction shall be 50% to the breeder, 25% to the loft manager, 25% to NBRC.
- Any breeder wishing to buy his own bird must be the high bidder but will only pay the 50% owed to the loft manager and NBRC.

points shall be quality, depth, speed, and kitting.
- Birds must be kitting to be scored. Non-kitting birds shall not receive a score for any performance until returning to the kit
