There has been some questions regarding the additions to our point
system for 2007. I will try to clearify.
#1. The Points shall remain as is for the first three shows.
#2. At the fourth show at the Fair, points will be awarded to the
first six "regular" or "point accumulating" exhibitors from our
regular season. We realize that the Class AA exhibitors are using
the MWVHSC show to school for the Class AA show and that they
often "knock" some of our regulars out of the points for Year End
Awards. No longer will this happen. At this show only, the Judge
will mark the cards through 10 or 12 places or to whatever number of
entries are in the class below that number. Ribbons will be awarded
to first through sixth place as done normally. Points, however, will
be awarded only to our regular exhibitors. In other words, if a
Class AA exhibitor places first and a regular places second; the
points will start with the second place regular exhibitor. It is
very possible that some of our regular exhibitors might not receive a
ribbon, but because the Judge has marked his card beyond sixth, we
will know where they would of placed in the class and those
exhibitors shall still receive the points that they would of gotten
had the Class AA exhibitors been absent. This will only be done at
the circuit show held at the Fair.
Points are confusing at best and it will be no small task to keep
them accurate, but we feel that our exhibitors deserve the
consideration. That being said, now it is up to our exhibitors to
be sure they are entered correctly, notify us of additions or
scratches and take responsibility for their end. The new rules and
updates are or will be on the website.
Got questions? Ask, that's what I'm here for.
