It means for the UKC Nationals, you move on in the rounds as long as you win your casts with plus points. Used to be that you have to be in the top 16 to move next round.

It's like a single elimination tournament. If you win your cast with plus points then you advance to the next round. If you lose or win with minus points then you're done

If you have a hunt with 6 casts in the registered division and they all come back with plus points.
In a Non -Elimination Event - only the top 4 hounds with the highest points would move on to the winners pack.
In a Elimination Event - all 6 would advance to a second round. The second round winners with plus points would then move on to a final cast.

Alot of clubs have went to the Elimination style events to eliminate the need to draw a "honey hole" in order to advance.
