APPROVED SHOWS:

 

Any show in TENNESSEE.

 

A total of 4 Tennessee shows will be allowed per calendar year, exhibitors will be allowed to chose which shows they wish to count at the end of the year, each participant may select only FOUR shows to count towards “high points” for each donkey.

 

AWARD RULES:

If any club member is not allowed to show at a Tennessee show due to being the Show Chairman or having to work the show, he/she will be allowed to double his/her points of another show if they do not have 4 other shows. This is only allowed for missing a show due to club/show business.

 

Donkeys can not count youth classes or fun classes such as panty race, musical buckets and costume towards their annual awards.

 

YOUTH RULES:

 

Youth exhibitors will be allowed to show multiple donkeys but will only be able to use the points from one donkey towards youth award. They get to chose which donkey at the end of the year along with which 4 shows.

 

If a show offers a specific youth class, the youth will only be able to show in that youth class, the youth can not show in the same adult/open class. An adult however can show that donkey in the open or adult class. This rule is a per class rule and not an entire show rule.

exp: A show has a youth coon jumping class, the youth can only show in the youth coon jumping class but not the adult/open coon jumping class, but if the same show doesn't have a youth snigging class, in that case the youth can show in the open snigging class.

 

If a youth has only the option to show in an open class the youth will acquire points toward the youth award and the donkey will also earn points towards its show awards.

 

Game classes such as panty race, costume, musical buckets, etc. will be counted towards youth annual awards.

 

Ambassador Award rules:

 

A donkey earns points for work outside the show ring which promotes the breed. Exp. Parades, exhibitions, plays, social events, classes, etc.
