SWEEPSTAKES

The Sweepstakes year runs from 1 July through 30 June. There will be a separate competition for Open and for Youth. Shows must be sanctioned by the ARBA and the National Palomino Rabbit Co-Breeders Association.

Sweepstake Points will be calculated as follows:

Placement	Class Points	BONUS Points
1st	6 X # shown	BOB 25
2nd	4 X # shown	BOS 15
3rd	3 X # shown	BOV 10
4th	2 X # shown	BOSV 5
5th	1 X # shown	Best 6/Runner Up/Best of Group 50 Best in Show= 1 x # rabbits in show

Breeders names on show reports will be how they are listed and recorded in the sweepstakes.

CLASS POINTS apply to Golden and Lynx only. Fur class points are to be separately counted. Class points are doubled at ARBA Convention and National All Pal Shows. Bonus points are not doubled. No sweepstakes points apply for Pre-Juniors or for Meat Pens. Golden and Lynx points, plus Bonus points, are added together for the determination of Sweepstakes winners.
For updates on the sweepstake rules, please consult your PRCBA Officers & Directors.

In Youth Competition, all points earned in Youth Shows and/or Open Shows will count for the Youth Sweepstakes, unless a youth specifically advises the Sweepstakes Recorder in writing that he/she wishes to compete for the Open Sweepstakes with points earned in Open Shows. This applies whether or not there is a sanctioned Youth show, and whether or not the Youth exhibitor(s) show in sanctioned Open competition. Points earned in sanctioned Youth competition will always remain in Youth Sweepstakes.
Youth may make entries in both Open and Youth classes with different animals, in accordance with ARBA Official Show Rules, Section 57.

All sweepstakes calculations will be done and records will be kept by the official Palomino Sweepstakes Recorder.

PALOMINO OF THE YEAR

A contest for Palomino of the Year for both Open and for Youth coinciding with the Sweepstakes year will be held. The winners will be determined from rabbit ear numbers contained in show reports submitted to the Palomino Sweepstakes Recorder. The winner will be based upon BOB, BOS, Best 6 Class and/or Runner Up and/or Best of Group, and BIS wins as follows:
BOB gets 2 points times the number of Pals shown
BOS gets 1 point times the number of Pals shown in that sex
Best 6 Class and/or Runner-Up and/or Best of Group gets an additional 10 points
and BIS gets an additional 20 points (above the amount obtained for BOB plus Best 6 Class).
In order to count, the show must be sanctioned with the ARBA and the National Palomino Rabbit Co-Breeders Association, and there must be at least 5 Pals shown with 3 exhibitors. The final tally and records will be kept by the official Palomino Sweepstakes Recorder.
