Livestockjudging.com Texas Cup
Jeff I’m pleased to announce a yearlong contest between every 4-H club and FFA livestock judging team in the state of Texas.
Entry
Nothing at all required. Just enter your FFA team or 4-H club in contests in the state of Texas that are reported on Judgingcard.com.
There’s no sanctioning for events and no entry fee. Every contest reported on Judgingcard will be included in the ranking and every team that finishes in the top twenty at an event will earn points.
Award
This pretty darn nice cup…
It will be given to the team at some time in the summer of 2016, at a time and place convenient for the team that wins.
Point System
Points for the 2016 Texas Cup will be earned between August 1st 2015 and the end of the Texas 4-H state judging contest in 2016.
The maximum amount of points awarded for a contest will be based upon the total amount of senior (or highest division) entries in the event. Teams finishing in the top twenty of an event will earn points based on the following schedule…
1st – 100%2nd – 90%3rd – 85%4th – 80%5th – 75%6th – 70%7th – 65%8th – 60%9th – 55%10th – 50%11th – 45%12th – 40%13th – 35%14th – 30%15th – 25%16th – 20%17th – 15%18th – 10%19th – 5%20th – 2.5%
Points will be rounded to the nearest whole number.
Example: If your team finishes 15th at an event with 250 individual senior entries your team would earn 63 points (250 * 0.25)
A 4-H club or FFA chapter can only earn points from one team at any individual event. If there are two teams from a club/chapter that earn points, only the points earned from the highest placing team will be considered.
A team can earn points for up to ten events in a year. In the common occurrence of teams entering more than ten events, only the top ten events (by points) will count toward their overall score.
The Texas FFA and 4-H state contests will each count for 1,000 points.
Point Reports
Points will be updated weekly on Livestockjudging.com.
