If
a contestant enters a team in 2 of the same weight classes at the same fair
on the same day he can only collect pts in one of the classes .(example , a
Maine fair might have a ffa distance and a ffa 12’ class on the same
day . you could only earn pts in 1 of those classes).
-
A
contestant may earn pts in the same class at 2 different fairs being held on
the same day .(example , a contestant may enter the 3300 class and earn pts
at a fair held in the afternoon and then load up and enter the 3300 at a
different fair that evening and still earn those pts).
-
In
the event of a late night pull that finishes after midnight . pts will be
awarded as usual on the date the class began.
-
Efforts
to make the pts list as complete as possible lies in the hands of the
pullers .it is up to them to get the information sent in to the chairperson
for compilation. All classes /fair results that are received will be
compiled. If we do not receive results of a class or fair then they can not
be compiled. it is recommended the results be reported within 30 days of the
pull. The chairperson will not be obligated to hunt down results. All pts
must be reported by Nov 1,2009 to allow time for final figures to be tallied to try to
announce winners at the banquet. Awards will be presented at the
following Fall or Spring Meeting.
The
chairperson for the 2009 hi pt award program is
Caroline Smith
** Every effort will be made to report points under the correct name. Keep
in mind that very few pullers take responsibility for reporting their own
points. When results are sent in for an event and the team names are
listed as "nicknames, etc...", the webmaster and points chairperson will put
their best effort forth to report them correctly.
Example: A spectator sends in results and states pullers name as "Stone"..we
will post and count points as "Stone Farm", "S&B" will be posted as
"Stevens & Beatty", "C&S" will be posted as "Champagne & Smith", etc...
If a puller finds a discrepancy in the posting they are to notify the points
chairperson prior to Nov 1st for a correction.
