Cavaric Continental Assembly • Official Title System

Gemstone Titles

Cumulative achievement titles earned by horses and dogs through sanctioned sim show competition.

What are Gemstone Titles?

Eight levels. One system. Two species.

The CCA Gemstone Title System recognises the cumulative competitive achievement of horses and dogs across all CCA-sanctioned sim shows. Animals earn points through placings and class participation, progressing through eight gemstone levels from Quartz to Elite Diamond. Titles are permanent, displayed after the animal's registered name, and tracked separately for equines and canines.

How Points Work

Base Points

Top 5 placings in any class earn points.

1st Place	10 pts
2nd Place	7 pts
3rd Place	5 pts
4th Place	3 pts
5th Place	1 pt

Participation Points

Every animal earns +1 point per class entered, regardless of placing. Rewards consistent participation.

Applies to every entered class at every sanctioned show.

Show Size Bonus

Bonus points per class based on entries in that class.

Under 20	+0
20–49	+1
50–99	+3
100+	+5

National Prestige

CCA points are awarded based on placement, class size, and the prestige of the host nation. Shows held in established, high-prestige circuits carry a small points bonus — competing at the highest level should mean something.

Applies to every pointed class at every sanctioned show.

Worked Examples

Each row is one class entered at a show. Place points come from the placing table above. Participation (+1) is earned for every class entered regardless of result. The size bonus applies per class based on how many animals were entered in that class.

🐴 Horse — small show, 4 classes

Enters 4 classes. Places 1st, 2nd, 4th, and does not place in the fourth. Fewer than 20 entries in each class — no size bonus applies.

Class	Placing	+1 entry	Size bonus	Class total
1	1st — 10 pts	+1	+0	11
2	2nd — 7 pts	+1	+0	8
3	4th — 3 pts	+1	+0	4
4	Unplaced — 0 pts	+1	+0	1
Show total				24 pts

At this rate, Quartz (100 pts equine) takes roughly 4–5 small shows.

🐕 Dog — large show, 2 classes

Enters 2 classes. Places 1st and 3rd. 55 entries in each class — qualifies for the +3 large show size bonus per class.

Class	Placing	+1 entry	Size bonus	Class total
1	1st — 10 pts	+1	+3	14
2	3rd — 5 pts	+1	+3	9
Show total				23 pts

At this rate, Quartz (60 pts canine) takes roughly 3 large shows with consistent placings.

Official Rules • CCA Gemstone Title System

Title Rules & Eligibility

Cumulative & Permanent

Points accumulate across all shows indefinitely and never reset. Once earned, a title cannot be revoked unless the animal was entered fraudulently.

Highest Title Displayed

Only the highest earned title appears in the animal's name. Previous titles are retained in the animal's points history.

Species Separation

Equine (EQ) and Canine (CK) points are tracked independently and cannot be combined or transferred.

Class Minimum

A class must have a minimum of 3 entries to count toward title points.

Record Keeping

Points are recorded automatically by the CCA circuit system at the close of each sanctioned show. No submission is required. The circuit register is the sole authoritative record. Owners may request a points audit at any time.
