Ok, let’s do this when we aren’t rushing. As a trainee, you may clerk both specialties. As an Associate Judge, you may clerk only in the opposite specialty from the one you can judge in your area. If you leave your area, you may clerk both specialties. Sorry for the confusion, which I made even worse! Thanks, Anne Mathis

Ok, I was incorrectly informed. As trainees you may judge both specialties. Sorry?for the confusion.? Anne
Hi everyone,Just a reminder that as trainees or judges in the Associate program, you may not clerk in the specialty you are or will judge in in the area where you judge or will be judging. You are permitted to master clerk. This is consistent with the rules in the regular program. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.? Thanks, Anne Mathis

Penalize/disqualify sheet
Hi all, This is the most recent penalize/disqualify sheet. There may be changes in the new season.? Anne Mathis?
|
Hi all,
Here are the most recent judging program rules. Please make sure you read through and familiarize yourself with them.? Thanks, Anne Mathis
|
Hi everyone, Hope you are all well, and if you are judging, you are enjoying it! Here are a couple reminders for you.?
Don’t forget to scan and send your paperwork and evaluation (if you have it) to me for review. I’m glad to say that there have been few errors, and those numbers are decreasing.?
The Judging Program chairs have asked that any judge not post pictures of themselves with a cat behind the?table. They feel that that shows a preference for that cat. You also should think twice before you post show wins, as we are already watched very carefully by exhibitors, and it seems like you are promoting your own cat. If you Grand a cat that you don’t plan to continue to show, I think that’s fine, but you might say in your post that the cat is now retired, or something like that.?
A last reminder for today about the judge’s code of ethics. If you have not read it carefully, please do so, and please make sure you are not doing anything that is or will be questioned by others. You are ambassadors for CFA and the CFA Associate Judging Program whether you are behind the table or not. Please make us proud.?
If you have any questions about these or any other things, please feel free to contact me.?
Thanks, Anne Mathis

Hi everyone, I have viewed at least one round of videos from each of you, and would like one more. If there are breeds available that you haven’t handled, particularly in different body styles, please try to handle those. You may use some of the breeds you’ve handled before, as long as they are different cats. Don’t forget to do a final! Please make sure to use words from the standard, and present the cat to the audience.? After the videos are reviewed, and we determine that you are ready to go on, there is a final test for you to take.? Our final zoom will be a presentation and discussion of the judge’s code of ethics, social media policy, and some other things that have come up in the previous teams.? I appreciate the hard work and dedication you have shown me in this program. Keep up the good work! I can’t wait to see you behind the table! Anne Mathis

Hi everyone, I thought I had told you this, and it I haven’t I apologize. You may not clerk in the area where you may judge except in the opposite specialty. If you leave your area, such as a visit to the US, you may clerk there. If you have any questions, please let me know.? Thanks,
Anne

Hi everyone, Just a couple reminders about the fun show approval-
You may not judge a fun show where there will be FFF or ICE judges, or in ?a facility where a show by either of these associations was held or will be held the same weekend.?
You must request permission to judge a fun show, and provide a flyer for the show. I do not recommend that you purchase plane tickets before you have this permission.?
The flyer may not list you as AB or SSP. My understanding of these shows is that all judges judge all the cats, so there is no reason to specify AB.?
I am not singling out associates here. These policies are in place for all CFA judges. Please contact me if you have any questions.?

Hi everyone, I still am missing tests and videos from several of you. If you can get those to me today or tomorrow, that would be great. I am leaving town for several days Thursday night, and I would like to have all tests graded before I go. I’d also like to get you feedback on your videos before I go, so you can work on the next set with that feedback in your minds.?
As far as the test go, the ones I have received have been excellent for the most part. If I have asked you to look over a test and resubmit answers, it’s because you had less than an 80% on that section. If a question says something about penalizing something, and that item is a disqualification, the answer should be false. That seems to be tripping some of you up. If you have any other questions, please let me know. Thanks for the hard work you have out in already! We are proud of all of you! Thanks,? Anne Mathis

?I have made some minor changes to the Burmese, Egyptian Mau, Russian Blue, and Selkirk Rex tests. Please use those to take your tests. If you have already submitted your answers to me, go ahead and check them to see if your answers are the same in this version. These are the most recent changes, so if I sent you an email asking you to redo any of these tests, please use the versions in this email. Remember, the tests are due by Monday. Thanks! Anne Mathis?

Hi Anne & AJ peers,?
Thanks Glamorous International Ambassador cat club's helpfulness!?
GIA will have a show in Hong Kong this weekend and I have obtained permission from the show manager, Thomas Yiu, that we can take turns for video shooting in the ring on Sat after judging finished around 16:30 Jan 7, 2023.? Show hall will be closed by 18:00, we'll continue on Sun if needed.? ?
This arrangement is open and optional for all AJ to join.? ?? We can assign a SH ring and a LH ring respectively.? ?Please coordinate with your preferred breed owners in advance. Since the show hall is quite packed and will not able to bench extra cats for such purpose.? That means we should only use those cats who entered the show already.?
Anne, please advise if any difference for the presentation format requirement when we are going to do in the show hall.??
BR Phebe?

Hi everyone, Here are some guidelines for your videos. I like them by 1/9 if at all possible. I will be out of town for several days in January, and would like to review them by that date, if possible. Please let me know if that is an issue. I’d also like your post tests by that time, please.?
For the videos, we would like to see: A minimum of 4 cats in different breeds if possible. These may be cats you own in your home
Professional dress, as you would to actually judge ? Assessment of each cat done quickly, thoroughly, and carefully. It is not necessary to talk during the assessment portion if you prefer not to
A pretend final, where you present the cat, and talk about it’s strengths, using words from the standard. Talk about why you placed it above or below the other cats. Please speak in English.?
For your second and third round of videos, we will want cats that you don’t own, preferably handled in a place outside your home. Please arrange to handle as many different breeds as you can. It’s important that we see you handling the most possible body types so that we can present the information to the board when you are up for advancement.?
Any questions? Just let me know. We are excited to see your work behind the table! Have fun, and make us proud! Anne Mathis?
