The two major contenders are Carol and Hailey; Carol's American Fuzzy Lop won Open all breed Best In Show in all three shows plus the specialty show.  Hailey's Mini Satin won all three youth all breed Best In Show.   This is the first time in WCC history that both open and youth are triple show winners.

The points are tallied then projected to a screen.  Each judge has three votes: first place rabbit gets 6 points, second place rabbit gets 3 points and the third place rabbit gets 1 point.   The final result shows that Carol's American Fuzzy Lop received 64 points, a runaway winner.

Ten judges have picture taken with Carol and her big winner.  Some of the judges had to catch flights at SFO, left before the tally was done.
