Sweepstakes Points....

What are they? How are they figured?

Good question- and Myron asked me to write a bit of an explanation. I am

currently recording sweepstakes points for ISRBA- every time you show

a rabbit in an ISRBA sanctioned show you receive sweepstakes "points"

for your placements. These points are used to give annual awards at the

ISRBA Stave Convention in Des Moines. Points are tracked only for ISRBA

members- I do not track points for non members. After each show that

show secretary fills out forms which report each exhibitor's name, the

breed exhibited and how many points they received for that breed at the

show.

Points awarded are:

1st place= 6 x the number of animals in that class

2nd place= 4x the number of animals in that class

3rd place= 3x the number of animals in that class

4th place= 2x the number of animals in that class

5th place= 1x the number of animals in that class

In addition the Best of Breed winner receives 1 bonus point for each

animal shown in that breed. Points are awarded in the same manner for

single fryers, meat pens and fur, but there are no BOB or BOS bonus

points. Best in show, Best Six Class, and Best Four Class points are also

tracked- and are simply the number of animals in the show, six class, or

four class (these points do NOT add to your breed points).

I plan to have current Sweepstakes spreadsheets available at the entry

desk at each show sanctioned by ISRBA so you may check your points

at any time. Hawkeye News only has room to print totals, the spreadsheets

are too large to publish. If you have questions any time during the year on

how your points are figured, your current status, or if you feel there is an

error in your points feel free to contact me.
