ATTENTION SELECT AMATEURS
Don’t forget to submit your Select Amateur Designation Forms for this year’s show season.
For the purpose of calculating OQHA year-end points, in the event a Select Amateur class is combined with the Amateur class, OQHA will separate out the Select Amateur points for those select exhibitors who have a designation form on file prior to showing in said class. The Select designation will become effective when it is received in the OQHA office, or by the show secretary at any approved OQHA show, and will expire at the end of each show season. The Select Amateur will receive points based on the total number of entries in the combined classes. The Select Exhibitor must be entered in the Select class in order to be eligible for Select points. If the show bill does not offer a Select division of the Amateur class, there will be no Select points tabulated for that class.
