There's a scale of points for each species of poultry (chicken, duck, goose, turkey, guinea). Within the chicken scale, there is a White fowl and Colored Fowl point system. Each part of the chicken (comb, beak, neck, back, tail, etc.) is given a certain number of points for both COLOR (less in whites) and TYPE. So let's say the back is worth a combined total of 7 points. The color of the back is 3 points, and the type (shape, conformation) is worth 4. In a white bird, the color is worth less and the type is worth more. All the parts combined total to 100 points (so back + beak + comb, etc). So if you missed 3 points for the color of your bird's back, your bird would have 97 out of 100 points. Judges don't actually write down the points for each bird. It's more of a guideline.
Now if you meant the master exhibitor program, it's similar to the ABA program. You have to win a certain number of points within a minimum number of years to be crowned Master Exhibitor. You win more points for greater class size. So say you exhibited brown red Moderns. You win best of class in a class of 100. Yay, you get a starred win (that's what it's called in the ABA, not sure about the APA). If you won in a class of 500, that's a bronze star (the equivalent of 4 starred wins). You have to get 20 starred wins be considered a master exhibitor. It's something along those lines. It may be different numbers, but that's the general idea.
