ACS MHPS - Judging Guidelines

Admin & Results

Please write up results in the exact format designated on the results sheet. Any deviations won't be accepted.
Do not share the results sheet. I will do this when all results are complete. This prevents participants challenging judges.
Any DQ must have a written reason (wrong division, wrong class etc.)
If there are multiple images in the comments section, please do not DQ.
Feel free to give helpful feedback to participants, either by commenting on their images or messaging them directly. All feedback should be phrased to be positive and constructive. Feedback can be about angles, lighting, breed assignment etc. Please do not give feedback on things out of the participants control such as camera quality - this could be discriminatory.

CHAMPS

Please only select Section Champs & Section Reserves from 1st place models. Do not choose 2nd place models.
Please only select Division Champs & Division Reserves from Section Champs. Do not choose Section Reserves.

BREEDS / DIVISIONS

Please DQ if a model is in the wrong class or division. This must be determined alongside the ACS MHPS Class List and the division list.
Please do not use outside lists to determine whether a model is in the wrong class. You must use the ACS MHPS List to ensure continuity between classes, divisions, and shows.
Do not DQ if you don't agree with a breed assignment; just don't place the model, or place them last if there aren't enough to fill places.

Models should have some sort of reference (a screenshot of IDYB, description of the run/dates, photo of a COA etc.). Any models without should be DQ or not placed.
