The American Rabbit Breeders Association has a set of standards rabbits are judged by. When showing, a set number of points are awarded to each rabbit based on how closely it fits the breed standard. A total of 100 points are awarded to the "perfect" rabbit. The point values show how close to perfect your rabbit is. All of this information can be found in the American Stardard of Perfection.
