How Obedience Master (OM) Points Work
The Obedience Master titles reward high scores rather than placements. Every Open B or Utility B score of 190 or better earns OM points, and every 200 points is a new level.

Does an OM need placements?
No. OM points come from the score alone, so a dog can earn them without placing.
