Exhibiting & Promoting / Re: Self Blue Ameraucana Bantam Approval Process

Don, I did the same type of report for the LF self-blues when we started that project and submitted those findings to Walt. Unfortunately, the numbers were not sufficient in self-blue LF to avoid the pre-qualifying meets and they are even less in the bantams.
When this project kicks off officially, I'm afraid we will have to go through the 2 years of pre-qualifying meets for the APA, at least. I haven't read through the requirements for ABA in a while, but if I remember correctly, it is a much shorter and simpler process. I remember thinking that we could actually approach the ABA, after the APA pre-qualifying meets are complete - possibly even after the first APA Qualifying meet, but that might be pushing our luck a bit.
Fortunately, we won't have to re-write the Standard, as it is already written and should be the same for bantams, in both APA and ABA, as it currently stands for LF.
