Hi everyone,
The judging program has made a couple changes regarding your submission of paperwork prior to applying to the regular program. We’ve been getting some really old paperwork, and if you are currently judging, one would hope that your more recent paperwork would have less errors anyway. We will no longer review any paperwork that is more than a year old. There may be a few exceptions to this, such as having never submitted any to us, so please contact me privately if you have a question about this. If we have reviewed older paperwork of yours and it was free of efforts, that still counts toward your 10 error free sets.?
A second change is that you may only submit a maximum of 15 shows toward your ten error free. Remember, if a clerk brings back something for you to correct during the show, make sure you put the white copy back on the yellow copy before you make the change, so that it is correct on both copies. It’s not fair to our paperwork reviewers to go over 20 or more sets of paperwork just to see the same errors over and over again. I have attached the most recent marking a judge’s book pdf, so you can review it if you have questions.?
The breed experiences are an important part of the application process, so we would also encourage everyone to do these with as many breeds as possible. If you are going to be at the International, I’d be glad to help you find some breeds to work with. I should be free on Sunday, unless someone cancels and I end up judging the show.?
I’m also still hearing that some of the associates, and I don’t know any names on this, are showing cats to qualify that are no either not good examples of the breed, not well presented in terms of grooming, or do not have show temperaments. I’m very disappointed to hear this. If you want future invitations to judge and the respect of the exhibitors, you need to be better than good in all aspects.
Please let me know if you have any questions
Thanks,
Anne Mathis?
