The question came up recently about the ABC policy for earning points and getting rosettes, so I thought I would post it here.
Points:
Any active member, in good standing (membership not lapsed), can earn points at Ameraucana Breeders Club sanctioned Meets. The points are earned based on the number of birds entered for the class and are not dependent on how many exhibitors are entered. So, even if you are the only Ameraucana exhibitor, you earn points for your wins. It goes like this:
Best of Variety - points earned = total number of Ameraucanas entered in that variety.
Reserve Best of Variety - points earned = total number of Ameraucanas entered in that variety minus one.
Best of Breed - points earned = total number of Ameraucanas entered for that class (large fowl or bantam)
Reserve Best of Breed - points earned = total number of Ameraucanas entered for that class (large fowl or bantam) minus one.
Champion Ameraucana - points earned = total number of Ameraucanas entered for both classes (bantam and large fowl).
Reserve Champion Ameraucana - points earned = total number of Ameraucanas entered for both classes (bantam and large fowl) minus one.
