I don\'t feel it is appropriate for exhibitors to go directly to the judges. The communication should always go thru the show superintendent.
--- Quote ---3 bantam exhibitors or 3 large fowl exhibitors for the show to qualify?

--- Quote ---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.

...not necessarily ABC members, but \"exhibitors\".
--- Quote ---If we only need 1 junior exhibitor that would certainly encourage our juniors.

I think it\'s been that way for over two years and don\'t know of any increase. I think a lot of kids are pushed (encouraged) into hobbies like this by parents and 4H type clubs. Some of the parents try to live their lives thru thier children\'s hobby\'s and sports activities. Those kids fall away from the fancy once they mature. Not to say that they don\'t enjoy it while they are into it. It\'s like my granddaughters going thru the \"I love horses\" phase. It\'s just part of life.
Many of the adult members that have joined this club start out gung ho and after a few years you never hear from them again. And, that\'s alright too.

I pulled this text from the meet request at the downloads section:
Champion Ameraucana Over-All in the JR Show….Rosette
With 3 or 4 Exhibitors in the Open Show we offer…
Champion & Reserve Ameraucana Over-All...……..Rosettes
Or with 5 or more Exhibitors in the Open Show we offer…
BB & RB Bantam and BB & RB Large Fowl.……….Rosettes
This is what I have been following when I send out rosettes. The Board cleaned up this language a few years ago to make it easier for rosettes to be earned. Yes, I am behind on the rosettes!
I am not sure what a \"qualifying meet\" is for the Ameraucana Breeders Club. The way we place meets, I think once a meet is place it is a qualified meet. Just my opinion.
I suggest keeping things as simple as possible. I would track information from ABC placed meets as listed in the Bulletin. I would only use official Show Club meet reports. For the Show Clubs that send in meet reports, none have been confused by the form and have reported all the requested information.
I suggest using the list in the Bulletin, because some Show Clubs take the perpetual meet placement philosophy if you place a meet with them once.

I\'m interpreting it as having enough exhibitors at a meet for them to qualify for awards(?)

Michael, this is kind of off subject, but I was wondering how long after a show the Ch. and Res. Ch. Ameraucanas might expect to receive the rosettes?? My bantam roo took Ch. Am. at the Washington Feather Fanciers show in December, with three open exhibitors...I\'m wondering if it was an issue with the show report form, it was somewhat unorganized it seemed, and I had to go and tell them that they were supposed to have the judges choose Ch and Res Ch Ameraucana, they had no idea... :(
Also, on this subject, now that it\'s somewhat clearer, the junior exhibitor they chose as Res. Ch. Ameraucana should have a rosette for Ch. Am. of junior show... :/
faith valley:
\"qualified meets\"
I asked that question because some breed clubs place a meet at a show, but if there is not enough exhibitors or not enough birds from that club entered then the meet does not \"qualify\" for points, or awards for that matter. I was questioning if our club went to a point system, what would be the criteria for awarding those points. Would it be a minimum number of ameraucana exhibited in the show, or a mininum number of exhibitors showing ameraucana, or no minimums.
