GUIDELINES AND POLICIES  Sixth Edition

SELECTION OF SHOW JUDGES FOR BREEDERS CUP SHOW

Each year the owners of the stallions that produced the current year’s two year olds shall nominate one judge per paid up stallion. (Example: For the 2005 show, the owners of stallions nominated for the 2002 breeding season will nominate judges.) In the event of ownership change, nomination form(s) and ballot(s) will be mailed to the current owner of the stallion. It is the responsibility of the stallion owner to notify the NAB Administrative Assistant of address and ownership changes. In the event of multiple owners, the ballot will be mailed to the owner that submitted payment.

Nomination

Nomination forms will be sent out prior to the show and owners will have a limited amount of time to nominate a judge. Nomination forms returned by the deadline will then be collected and tallied by the NAB Board of Directors. Nominated judges will then be put on a ballot and returned to the stallion owners. Owners receive one ballot for each stallion paid up. Owners may choose six names from the list. Ballots returned by the deadline will then be collected and tallied by the NAB Board of Directors.

Voting

The names of the top ten vote earners will be placed on a ballot and mailed to the owners of the entries paid up for that year. Owners will receive one ballot per paid up entry. (Example: John Doe has one paid up two year old and one paid up three year old for the 2005 show. He will receive two ballots.) In the event of multiple owners, the ballot will be mailed to the member that submitted payment. Owners may choose six names from the list. Ballots returned by the deadline will then be collected and tallied by the NAB Board of Directors. The top six vote earners will be the judges for the NBC Championship Show.

Nomination forms and ballots shall be kept by the NAB Administrative Assistant for a period of 13 months.

The NAB Board has approved the following rules for selecting judges:

1. Judges are required to have a MFTHBA judging card which is current at the time of nomination.

2. Judges are not eligible to judge the current year’s NBC show if they have judged any of the last two NBC shows. (Example: If you judged in 2006, you cannot judge until 2009).

3. Judges are not eligible if they have judged more than one of the following shows in the current year: Mid-Americia Two Year Old Futurity, MFTHBA Three Year Old Futurity, Mid-America Fall Show.

4. Officers and Directors of NAB are not eligible to judge.
