Susan Mouw:
Under a previous Administration, the Meet Report form was changed, arbitrarily by one Board member, to show that CH and Res CH Ameraucana were only to be selected at National and District meets.  With the changeover in the Board in 2015, the Board members decided to remove that restriction and permit CH and Res CH Ameraucana at any show.  That has not changed.

If I get a Meet Report where CH and Res CH Ameraucana has been selected - by the judge - then those points are awarded and the award is noted on the meet report, regardless of what type meet it is.

Susan Mouw:
I went back through some of the meet reports that have been posted over the past year and found some that were not National, or District Meets, but birds were awarded the CH or Res CH Ameraucana.  In all of these, the winner was accorded the points for their win.

All Meet Reports are posted, when completed (and I'm running behind on those right now), on the website at: http://www.ameraucanabreedersclub.org/meet report.html

Ernie Haire:
Thanks, Susan for clarifying that. That is the way that I read our Point System policy. I will admit that I thought it was a little strange at first because I had never seen an Ameraucana Bantam. The first time that I had ever seen an Ameraucana Bantam was in December of 2014 in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Now that Bantam Ameraucanas are starting to grow in popularity, we see others at most of the shows in this area. In some of the shows around here, Bantams have outnumbered the Large Fowl.

And thanks again Susan and Temple for keeping up with all of this mess for our Club. I know that both of you must have other things that you could be doing with your time.

Be Blessed,
Ernie

Peggy Taylor:
First I have to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU

Peggy Taylor:
Okay....I was trying to say THANK YOU to Susan and Temple for great work on a difficult job of recording show reports and compiling points.

Susan clarified the issue of CH and RCH in her post at the top of page 2.  Having said that I would like to stress that the word "intent" (since it has been mentioned several times in this discussion) causes more disturbance than any other little word I know.  It is subjective and open to interpretation from anyone.  I have already been through this issue (show points) as a board member with a much bigger association than ABC.  "Intent" does not cut it. A rule must be specific to its interpretation....easily and clearly understood by anyone that reads it.  I can't count the number of times I heard "Oh, but that was not the intention..." Intention does not matter. You can only enforce what you have "specifically" spelled out. I think the ABC "points" section of the site is very user friendly and understandable.

I, personally, do not see a problem with a CH and RCH at any meet as long as both large fowl and bantams are shown.  I would not have a problem if there were a specified number of each that had to be shown to trigger the CH and RCH. I also have not found a judge(s) to have a problem when asked to pick a CH and RCH. If there were separate judges for large fowl and bantams it was very informative to listen to their comments and evaluations as they reached their conclusion as to which would be #1.

Just my thoughts for what they are worth...

Peggy
