For ++/ I think you typed that in wrong.
But +// is Legion Of Excellence : 300 points or higher for purebred arabians with two national top tens or one national top ten and one regional top five
+ Is Legion of Honor 75 points in any class
++ Legion of Merit 75 point with 30 point in breeding classes
++++ Legion of Master 300 points with 120 in breeding classes and 120 in performance
+++ Legion of Supreme Merit 150 points with 60 in breeding and 60 in performace
+/ Legion of Supreme Honor 150 points in any classes
Requirements I know vary for half arabains but I am don’t know those off the top of my head
