The ring form is a "tabbed notebook" style window. In this example, notice that there are three tabs, labeled "Friday", "Saturday" and "Sunday":
Each tab corresponds to one show; the labels were defined on the previous form. The number of rings in each show also comes from the previous form. On each line, you describe one ring in that show: fill in the judges name and initials, click on the button to identify the ring as AB or SP, and click on the checkboxes to indicate what classes were judged in that ring.
Each ring comes up with the checkboxes for the Kitten, Cat, Alter, HHP Kitten, and HHP classes turned on by default. The checkboxes for Provisional New Breed (PNB), Advanced New Breed (ANB) and New Traits (NTR) classes are turned off. You should turn off the checkboxes for the classes that did not have any entries and turn on the checkboxes for the New Breed/New Trait classes if they did have any entries.
Congresses are a special case. Usually, a congress ring will be only one class, so you will need to turn off the checkboxes for all classes except one in a congress ring. You should also turn on the Congress checkbox. That tells TkScore to ignore the points from that ring when computing the ranking.
Make sure you have set up the rings correctly before you begin doing the data entry for finals. It may be difficult to re-arrange or delete rings later. If you need to, you click on the Done button and go back to the main window to change the format or the number of rings and then re-open the Rings window.
Click on the Done button at the bottom of the form when you are finished setting up the rings. Clicking on Cancel will discard any changes you have made.
