02 Sep 2026

The end of the season 2026 is in sight, which means we are all looking for the best Ace Pigeons of this 2026 season.

Both the Ace Pigeons and the Best Loft competition are open for online submission via the website www.herbotschamionship.be.

You have until October 15 to do this; we will then close everything online, and you will be able to view the results on our website www.herbots.be a few weeks later.

Below, we briefly explain the rules for the Best Loft; if you have any questions, we are always available via championship@herbots.be

Comments

- The participant may choose his best result, but only in the category provided
- The same unloading, under point AG. can count in different categories on the condition that the prizes achieved were achieved by different pigeons.
- For each flight there must be a minimum of 100 pigeons and 10 participants on the result
- Under points AA. to AF. the dates and criteria, which we will mention later in these regulations, must correspond respectively to the chosen distance for that specific category (see category G - K)
- For the national competitions of choice, the fancier must have at least one long distance race and one middle distance race in his 6 races.
- Prizes per 10 : a 10° place against 100 pigeons is accepted, but an 11° against 108 pigeons is refused. Only a full price per ten will be accepted
