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 1,2007 to allow time for final figures to be tallied to try to
announce winners at the banquet. Awards will be presented at the
following Spring Meeting.

chairperson for the 2007 hi pt award program is
