A horse and/or exhibitor must have attended one local qualifying AMHA approved show and must have been entered in a minimum of one class in each division at that show (ie: Open, Amateur or Youth) in which they are entering and exhibiting at a Championship Show. They may enter as many classes as they choose at the Championship Show in each division in which they entered at least one class at the local qualifying show. A horse/exhibitor is not required to have placed at the local qualifying show but they must have entered and exhibited.

All entries, along with proper fees for entries and stalls, must be mailed to the Show Department, AMHA, 5601 S Interstate 35W, Alvarado, TX 76009.

Daily Results on Internet
For a historic SIXTH year in a row, and as a courtesy of AMHA and the AMHA Webmaster, the Official AMHA Web Site will report the 2001 Championship Show results (Top Ten in all classes plus Grand Champions) at the end of each day live from each show. AMHA is one of only a few breeds which provides this service to its members. For results, check this web site address daily during each Championship Show - www.amha.com.

Judges and Judging System
The Central and Eastern Championship Shows will be judged by a panel of three AMHA carded judges. All three of the judges' cards/scores will be used (computer tabulated by the accumulated point system- (10,9,8,7,etc.) to determine class winners.

The Judges were approved by the Licensed Officials Committee and are in good standing with the AMHA and have a 3.6 rating or higher.

Even though only one horse will be selected for each class placing, a BONUS of THREE SETS of NATIONAL POINTS will be earned at the Central and Eastern Championship Shows (ie., one horse will be chosen Champion-first place-Senior Stallion over 32' to 34', and only one plaque and ribbon will be awarded; however if the stallion earned 3 points in the class he will be given 9 points when the results are entered in the computer at the AMHA Show Department). Points will be tabulated as set forth in PA-015 in the 2000-2001 AMHA Show Rules. Total points earned at the Central and Eastern Championship Shows WILL BE valid for the 2001 National Show qualification and for all AMHA titles and awards.

Special Award Ties and Scoring
In calculating all of these Special Awards, should ties occur, the following procedure will be followed. The first tie breaker will be to determine the horse/exhibitor defeating the most competitors. If a tie still results from this calculation, then the next tie breaker will be to determine which horse/exhibitor placed highest in their respective halter class. Should a tie still result, a coin will be tossed by the exhibitors.

In scoring all special awards, the following computer point system will be used:
Entries in classes with 10 or more entries - first receives 10 points, second receives 9 points, third receives 8 points, etc.

Entries in classes with less than 10 entries - first receives number of points based on total number of entries shown, etc. (Example - class with only seven entries shown - first receives 7 points, second receives 6 points, third receives 5 points, etc.).
