*cough* *wheeze* I should have learned by now not to take a drink of soda before reading John\'s posts...
Master Buff Exhibitors may increase turnout - would certainly get us plenty of, er, exposure!

John,
I can not believe you just said that. What a hoot!
Jean, you are correct. The way I have done it in the past is to make a list of open show members & track open show points on that roster. Then make a list of junior show members and track the junior show points on that second roster.
By variety is a third roster and generally it is only open show points that get moved onto a \"by variety\" roster. That roster would be a list of open show members under each separate variety/ size. Points get updated each month when the show reports are updated. It is actually a fun reference tool for those that are looking to purchase birds for new stock and also it is a fun recognition for those that are super passionate about a particular variety/size.

This is very similar to the UOC point system. We do award points for past BB because so few Orpingtons are shown. Same with Ameraucanas. So, in my opinion it would be nice for a bird to pick up a few extra points for beating those harder to beat birds, such as the infamous white Araucanas shown in my area. Below is what we could have:
Bonus points to be awarded for Ameraucanas rising to Champion and Reserve AOCCL or AOSB. 5 Bonus points would be awarded to Champion AOCCL or AOSB and 4 to Reserve AOCCL or AOSB.

This sounds great!

You guys are a riot! What a hoot! The humor just made my day.
On a serious note, I\'d like to second all the above. I think it would be great to have the Club recognize those who are putting forth the time, effort, and expense to get our great bird some awareness and recognition.
Most of the shows I\'ve been to, I\'ve either been the sole Ameraucana exhibitor or one of two. The last show there were two of us but I had the only LF.
Now I don\'t say that as a \"humble brag\" but rather as just an actual example. I\'m sure others encounter the same experience. So why not recognize those who, as I said, put forth the time, effort, and expense to promote the breed?
With regard to Master Breeder vs. Master Exhibitor, I\'m with John on that too. I don\'t buy other folks\' birds just to show them myself but I know people do that. How would one go about knowing whether or not a bird shown is one that\'s been bred by that person other than just take their word for it? Just curious?
And for some, given that they may never see their name as an APA Master Exhibitor because of the lack of breed participation, it might be enough for them to see their name as an ABC Master Exhibitor to keep them from giving up on the breed and going to something else.
Just my thoughts.
God Bless,
