I wasn\'t suggesting to contact show clubs for information from 2009 and 2010. I was suggesting there is enough information currently for folks to get an idea of what the system would be like.

I think that sounds like a great idea.  Michael, is that information you would like to forward to someone to figure up for you?  I\'d be happy to help any way I can! :)

Michael, you are correct about AOCCL and AOSB. I was flipping through the club newsletters back to 2005 and many of the show reports listed in there have AOCCL and AOSB info, some dont, but many do. So you are right, it would be very easy to pull the needed point info from what we currently have on hand and drop it into word and the points into an excel spreadsheet to create a nice format for a newsletter or website viewing. My previous offer still stands, please do let me know if you would like help with data entry and charting.

Changing the subject slightly....

Are points kept on all ABC meets or only qualified meets?

If only qualified meets then what is the criteria? A certain number of exhibitors or a certain number of large fowl and bantam ameraucana exhibited in the show?  Can the junior show and open show numbers be added together to meet the minimum requirements? ( Open show would be reported on the open show report and the junior show would be reported on the junior show report. But so long as the show had the minimum number of ameraucana exhibited or the minimum number of ameraucana exhibitors then it qualifies?)

To give us something to compare to- the call club requires 3 exhibtiors and a minimum of 25 calls entered.  Now it could be 1 open show exhibitor with 10 open calls entered in the show and 2 junior exhibitors with 15 calls entered in the junior show or any other number set that would add up to the minimum of 3 exhibitors and 25 calls.  This would meet their minimum requirement for a qualified special meet. A district or national meet requires 3 exhibitors but 50 calls.  

Obviously those numbers would be high for us. But just wondering what the opinions were on how a show would be qualified to have points tallied and recorded.

John:
I\'m not sure if the following is the most up-to-date meet policy, but Michael would know.  The qualifications used now could remain as points are given instead of rosettes.  
FYI, at our Fowl Fest in Michigan all birds are in the open show and then the Jr birds are judged separately.  You would have to be careful that Jr birds or exhibitors weren\'t counted twice, so I wouldn\'t think a Jr birds or exhibitors would have anything to do with the numbers from an open show.

--- Quote ---ABC MEET POLICY

Current policy as set by the Board of Directors allows for ABC meet awards at two tiers or levels for Open Show competition at club sanctioned meets.  
1.   With three or more exhibitors of Ameraucana in a class (bantam or large fowl) a rosette is earned for Best of Breed.  
2.   With five or more exhibitors of Ameraucana in a class (bantam or large fowl) a rosette is also earned for Reserve of Breed.
In Junior competition, regardless of the number of exhibitors of Ameraucana in a class (bantam or large fowl), a rosette is earned for Best of Breed.  
Nonmembers may count as exhibitors, but are not eligible for club awards.  If members holding a \"family\" membership enter a meet as individuals, they may compete against each other for purposes of club awards.
Meets will only be placed if a member requests a meet for a specific show in time for the distribution of information via the ABC quarterly Bulletin prior to the entry deadline for that show.  For planning purposes, members need to know well in advance when and where meets are placed.  As a general rule of thumb, meets should only be placed where it is reasonably expected that three or more members will show.
In the event a member is refused placement of a meet the Secretary shall provide a satisfactory explanation to the member.  If the member is not satisfied, he or she then may appeal the decision in writing to the President, who shall poll the Board of Directors.  The Secretary will have an opportunity to defend his or her decision to the entire Board; a simple majority vote of the Board of Directors shall be final in any such dispute.

Of course the part about the \"secretary\" placing the meets is changed to directors due to the change we voted on.
