Question re: Meets
John:
The show's show catalog (aka premium book) and/or website should contain a page of rules. Check out page 3 of this link for the Fowl Fest rules as an example...

"Real" poultry shows are sanctioned by the APA and generally also the ABA, so their rules also apply and are to be posted at the show as I recall.

Well my computer didn't like that download, it froze on me. I checked the online catalog, it wasn't different from what I received.
I do have a question regarding the entry form. Ameraucanas are considered bearded, non crested and single comb, right? Also, do they usually require a double coop or single?

None of that matters with Ameraucanas and other breeds that aren't recognized with alternate traits, like bearded/non bearded & single comb/rosecomb. See reply #1 on this topic...

Single. Generally only males of extra heavy breeds like Brahmas use double coops, but our "Majestic ones" (aka Ameraucanas) don't. ;)

They better not be single comb or you are looking at a D.Q. They are pea combed and the judges know that.

OK. So under Breed and Variety where it says to list if single or rose comb, bearded or non, I would simply put "Ameraucana Black bearded" and nothing else? Or just Ameraucana Black?
