Jan,

The Directors discussed this issue last winter and made the decision that points would only be kept/tallied in the member name only.  It is a time issue for the points keeper to sort through membership information to try and match a different name to the name listed on the meet report.

Also, points are only awarded for placings during Ameraucana Breeders Club placed meets.  We had another individual that wanted to know why they didn't have points and the shows they listed were not events that we had placed meets at.

From our Points page...

--- Quote ---Please enter birds under the same name at all ABC meets to accumulate points under that ABC member name(s).

In junior competition points are only accumulated under a junior’s name, not the name of the family membership or a farm name.

Under a new last name would be still the same person, but points of an individual wouldn't be incorporated into the family or farm name.  M & J Farm would be different than Jan Burke/Geis.
It makes a lot more work for the volunteer Points Keeper to check Farm Names, from meet reports, to memberships.

Paul:
  I think the points need to be transferable to a new name (either change of last name or to a farm name) when a marriage causes a name change!

Jan:
Ok I didnt show under jan Burke this year.  I showed under M & j Farm.  I got it approved through the ABA and the APA but wasnt thinking about the breed clubs or I would of boight another membership under the farm name.

thank you
