Point Only YearEnd Awards are decided by using points ONLY from Point Only Shows. YearEnd High Point will be named in each class using the above classlist. Benefit shows do not count towards Point Only YearEnd Awards, due to different classlists and problems with point tabulation that would cause. However, since Nationals uses the exact same classlist and is for members only, they are also used for YearEnd High Point awards and will be double pointed for this show only.
Judges are encouraged to provide results via email as well as printed copies supplied to each entrant, if possible. Judges, send email results to club President, Thomas Bainbridge (bainbridge@jackpine.com) and he will post results to website.
