Only veterinarians correctly registered and entering their own details and calving’s on the Calving Cup app within the Competition Period are eligible for prizes.
The winner of each division of the competition is the entrant with the highest number of points within that division scored on the Calving Cup app determined by the scoring system below and verified by invoices to clients of the relevant veterinary business.
Points and Criteria:
Points system is as follows:
a. 1 x CALVING = 1 x POINT
b. 1 x REDUCE UTERINE PROLAPSE = 1 x POINT
For a calving to be awarded a competition point all of the following criteria need to be met:
i. At least one calf is removed from the cow’s birth canal/uterus by, or under the direct guidance and in the physical presence of, the claiming veterinarian; and
ii. The person responsible for the cow (owner/farm manager) must have requested veterinary obstetric assistance for that specific cow; and
iii. The calving is charged for, and appears on an invoice to the client.
Extra notes:
i. All qualifying calvings count for 1 competition point each, regardless of presentation or method of delivery (including assisted, caesarean section or embryotomy).
ii. Pharmacological induction of cows to calve is not considered a calving.
iii. Administration of metabolic solutions to a cow who subsequently calves without further assistance is not considered a calving.
iv. Non-recovery (i.e. cow is euthanised and an attempt is made to recover the calf) caesarean sections are not considered calvings.
v. Multiple births (twins/triplets) still only count for 1 competition point in total. (i.e. 1 competition point per cow calved NOT 1 competition point per calf)
vi. Only one competition point in total is awarded per invoiced calving. If more than one vet is in attendance at a procedure, the vets who are present must decide and agree who will claim the competition point.
For a calving to count, all relevant information on the Calving Cup application entry tab must be completed.

An individual veterinarian can only win one prize per month but is eligible to win in any of the months the Calving Cup runs for which they are registered. Spot prizes will vary and could consist of e-vouchers and promotional items and or prizes.
In the event of a “dead heat” in any of the divisions (e.g. when two or more entrants are equal highest point scorers in the division), a countback system will be used to identify final placings and final winners. Firstly the scores of the relevant entrants will be recalculated after the points earned from assisted calving are removed, and the entrant with the greater score on this measure will be deemed to win the prize. If the remaining leading entrants are still equal on this measure, the leading entrant with the highest number of caesarean will be deemed the winner. If after these countbacks, there are still two or more entrants on equal highest score, then these entrants will be considered joint winners, the nominated prize divided equally between them.
To ensure fair play, and the confidence of entrants in the integrity of the competition, the winner’s scores shall be verified by the Promoter by a review of clinic invoices following completion of the Competition Period. Only procedures that appear on legitimate invoices are eligible for competition points. By allowing the veterinarians in their employ to enter, the employing veterinary clinic agrees to allow the winners scores to be verified by the Promoter via the viewing of these invoices on site within the clinic. Invoices will not be copied or removed from the clinic by the Promoter. In order to protect veterinarian/client confidentiality, the veterinary business is asked to obscure (redact) client details on copies of invoices and scoring sheets before they are presented to the Promoter for verification. However, the dates, procedure performed, and charges for the procedure must be legible. The details on such invoices shall be treated as confidential and shall not be used by the Promoter for any purpose other than verifying the entrant’s competition points and will not be accessed by or shown to the Sponsor.
The Promoter accepts no responsibility for any competition entries that are not entered into the Calving Cup entry tab of the Calving Cup application for any reason by the end of the Competition Period or are otherwise invalid or corrupted.
Prizes to be won take the form of e-vouchers, excluding Hunting & Fishing and Rebel Sport (this will be physical vouchers), as specified in point 8 above. All amounts are in New Zealand dollars. Winners will be able to choose the e-voucher of their choice. E-vouchers are limited to the following New Zealand e-vouchers suppliers:
a. Kathmandu
b Whitcoulls
c. The Bodyshop
d. Mighty Ape
e. Mecca Beauty
f. Rebel Sport
g. Hunting & Fishing
The prizes are not transferable, exchangeable or negotiable and are not redeemable for cash. The Promoter reserves the right to change the prizes if any of them are unavailable, or have changed since the competition commenced.
The winners will be notified by phone and or text as well as via the Calving Cup application notifications within 10 working days of the competition closing by contact details recorded by them in the Calving Cup application. The winner must then arrange with the Promoter to allow the Promoter to verify the competition points claimed as per the above within (14) days of being notified. No prize will be awarded until verification is complete and provided such verification verifies the competition points claimed. If not verified within the required time frame, a new winner will be identified and notified and verified in accordance with this paragraph.
By entering into this competition participating vets agree that
I. Their details may be published on the public Promoter’s Calving Cup application forum and subsequent Calving Cup and Sponsor marketing material; and

III. Their vet clinic owner or manager has consented to the participating vet entering the competition on its terms, and if a winner, accepting the prize(s) awarded.
In the event that the winner cannot be contacted within 10 working days following the conclusion of the Competition Period or if the Promoter determines that a winner is not eligible to participate in a prize division or is not eligible to win, the runner-up will be awarded the prize (again subject to verification).
