Breeders High Point Awards

We are excited to bring in an award system to the Jamboree this year for folks that choose to enter all three shows.  Here are the particulars for the program:

We will have 6 divisions. 

Huacaya Farm Division Break Down

• Small Farm Division <= 25
• Medium Farm Division 26–60
• Large Farm Division >= 61

Suri Farm Division Break Down

• Small Farm Division <= 20
• Medium Farm Division 21–35
• Large Farm Division >= 36

A breeder must have a minimum of three halter entries at all 3 shows to be eligible for the Small Farm Division Cup. A breeder must have a minimum of six halter entries at all 3 shows to be eligible for the Medium Farm Division Cup. A breeder must have a minimum of nine halter entries at all 3 shows to be eligible for the Large Farm Division Cup.

The cup division will be assigned to each farm using the number of registered females 18 months or older and less than 15 years old per breed as reflected in the AOA database on the date show registration closes. Entries will be based on AOA certificates.

Our points will be awarded for each alpaca based on their average placement between all 3 shows. In addition, only the top two placing alpacas will be considered for points for the Small Farm Division, top 4 placing alpacas in the Medium Farm Division and top 6 placing alpacas for the Large Farm Division.

We will also award points for 1 entry in Get of Sire, 1 entry in Produce of Dam and 1 entry in Breeders Best Three, if an exhibitor chooses to enter those classes.

Breaking Ties

There are two levels of tiebreakers for this award.

Level 1

Show management will review all winnings of the ranches in question and the ranch with the most first place awards will win the tie.

Example:

Ranch A ended the show with four 1st place ribbons.
Ranch B ended the show with three 1st place ribbons.
Ranch A will be declared the winner.

Level 2

If there is still a tie, then show management will assign multipliers to the 1st place awards given to the ranches. The multipliers will be based on the size of the classes that the 1st place awards were given.

Example:

Each first-place ribbon awarded to the ranches will be reassigned the new points with the multiplier and the ranch awards will be re-calculated with these points to determine the winners.

Winners will be announced the week after the show and awards will be mailed to each winning farm.
