American bullies vs American Pitbull Terriers

Last Sunday, 2pm Philippine time, at Tiendesitas, Pasig City. I brought along my pet pitbull to watch a local dog show for APBTs. However,I noticed a majority of American bullies in the event. There are three main categories for the conformation competition,the ADBA division where the gamebred pitbulls are showcased, the UKC division,where the showlines are displayed like beauty contestants and the Philippine Bully Kennel Club division where American bullies are showcased. Each division have their corresponding breed standards as criteria for judging. However I noticed that in the UKC division, some American bullies were put in there as official entries which I think is a misjudgement since they are not the type of pitbulls that the UKC prescribes in their proper breed standard. Dog show officials should look into this matter. American bullies are too massive to join the UKC division. Their body type alone serves as disqualification for the said event.
