Sanctioned Show Requirements:

<>Each show must follow OYMGA rules and regulations.  If OYMGA rules are not followed the points will not count for that show/division. Each show will be required to pay a $2.50 per head fee ($4 per head fee if you would like OYMGA ribbons) for show sanctioning fee.  100% of this money will go towards the youth goat showmen and the end of the year banquet and awards.

All sanctioned shows will payback at least 60% of the entry fee.

All applications and fees will be on a first come, first served basis.  Show dates will be reserved when OYMGA secretary received the application and certification fees.  Flyers and advertisements cannot be published until notification of being sanctioned by the OYMGA.  Having a booking in a previous show season does not reserve a date for the next season.  No verbal commitments will be given.  The OYMGA reserves the right to refuse sanctioning of a show.  If this should occur, the applying organization will be notified within 30 days.

Shows conducted on the same day must have a minimum distance of 100 miles.  Shows that are in conjunction with one another must provide completed sanctioning forms within the same week to be considered as dual shows.

The sanctioned show will allow the OYMGA to display a banner, accept membership applications, and sell OYMGA related merchandise without commission of fees at the event.

OYMGA sanctioned shows must be open to all Jr. exhibitors 18 years old and under or have not completed high school.  No regional or county shows will be sanctioned.

Judges’ names must be provided and approved by OYMGA within 30 days of notification of the show being sanctioned or with the application if the show date is less than 90 days away.

 

Sanctioed Show Results

Each show must provide the exhibitors first and last name.

Each show must provided the final show results with placing of each class, number of entries in each class, and a total number of entries in the show.  The show must provide the grand and reserve for each show and which class the animals were from.  The show must also provide showmanship results.

All OYMGA requirements must be met, including show results being turned in on time and in proper format.

All show results and the $2.50 or $4 per head fee must be turned in to the OYMGA no later than 14 days from the date of the show for any points to be counted.

In an effort to publicize the OYMGA, please take pictures of champions, reserve champions, and class winners at your show and send them in with your results (this is not a requirement, just a request).
