2. If an exhibitor wishes to show in only one local SAILA Field Day, they can do so by paying a one-time fee of $5.00 (in addition to entry fees) in lieu of becoming a SAILA Junior member. If an exhibitor shows in five SAILA Shows, each time paying the $5.00 fee, they will automatically become a SAILA Junior member, and their points will be tabulated from that point on..
3. Exhibitors must show their own animals, however there are times when this is not possible, i.e. having two animals in the same class. In this case, the exhibitor owning the animal will receive the appropriate points. If an exhibitor enters a show they must be present and show their own animals.
4.All exhibitors must show their own animals in the respective showmanship classes. If an exhibitor wishes to compete in a showmanship class, they must have that respective specie entered in either the market or breeding category. Exception : PeeWee Showmanship
5. If a Junior Exhibitor has been barred from another Junior Livestock Show or Event - he or she is not eligible to compete in any SAILA sponsored Event. *** NEW *** Please make note

ALL AROUND EXHIBITORS
To be eligible, exhibitors must show at least two species in four different categories, i.e. having a market steer, and showing in beef showmanship, and having a breeding swine, and showing in swine showmanship.

POINTS
Market & Breeding Classes
Exhibitors will have their lowest two scores dropped - these will not be reflected on the point totals that are mailed or posted until the final show in March. If an exhibitor misses a show - that will count as one of the lowest scores.
Points will be awarded as follows: the number of points for 1st place will be equal to the number of exhibitors in a particular class. Each subsequent exhibitor will receive one less point respectively. Ex. - In a class of 10, 1st place receives 10, 2nd receives 9 , 3rd receives 8 and so on.
Champion Points
Grand & Reserve Champions will receive Ten & Five Point respectively in the market and feeder divisions.
In the event that the Champion or Reserve should come out of a class with fewer numbers than other classes within the division(i.e. Feeder Steers), the following will occur: The Champion will receive as many points as the highest placing animal in the largest class, plus the additional 10 points, with the Reserve Champion receiving 5 additional points. This will ensure that the animal deemed the most superior within a division will receive the most points.
Breed Champions
Breed Champions and Reserves will receive Five & Three points respectively. The same rule as above will apply to breed champions. - Each Breed Champion will receive 5 more points , and the Reserve - 3 more points, than the rest of the animals with a particular breed.
Supreme Champions
Supreme Champions and Reserves will receive Ten & Five points respectively. The same rule as above will apply , with the Sup. & Res. Sup. receiving 10 and 5 more points respectively than the others competing in the Supreme Champion drives.
Showmanship
Participation Points - All participants will receive Two points.
Call Back Points - Five points will be awarded to each exhibitor that is called back to a final round. There must be multiple lots of an age division before these points are awarded.
Final Drive Points - First place will receive points equaling the number of exhibitors in the final round, plus their initial participation and call back points. Second will receive one point less, third place two points less than first, and so on. Points will be awarded in this manner for the final drive as far down as the judge places.
