Forms for Use with ALSA Shows
Show
Superintendents: You will find all the forms and information you
will need for your show at the link above. A Show Packet will not
be sent to you unless you request one from the ALSA
Office. This will enable you to print off the latest
information from the website and obtain your forms at your
convenience. As you can imagine, using the website for show forms has saved the
association many thousands of dollars this last year. We really
appreciate your understanding of this change. Judges' halter score
cards do not need to be printed on card stock. They can be printed
on regular copy paper the same as performance score sheets. This
will also save you postage when sending them to the Office after the
show. If you need any help, have any questions, or find any
errors, please contact the ALSA Office right away. The Office is
there to provide help at any time with the success of your show!

ALSA Show Results, Points,
& Awards are the Sole Property of ALSA
Use of ILR Show Module
The
ILR Show module may be used by any ALSA show provided no show results are
entered into the ILR Show Program. All ALSA Shows are prohibited
from giving the IlR, or any show association, access to any ALSA show
results, points, or awards as of 2008 and forward as written in the ALSA
Handbook, Section G, page 37.s (minutes
8-24-08)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Selecting A Judge For Your Show
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) A show superintendent may hire any
appropriate Judge from the current Judge's list posted on the ALSA
website. A Level Judge may judge a show with up to 125
llamas. A Senior Judge has no restrictions on number of animals in
the show.
For multiple judged shows, show
management may hire both a Level Judge and a Senior Judge whenever
possible for multiple shows under 125 animals. Assistant
Performance Judges of an level may be employed to work in the ring with
a head judge. (spring 2008; p. 140; section 2; B)
2)
NEW 2009!
With reference to ALSA Judges judging shows for
other show associations: ALSA will not propose any
restriction on an ALSA judges as to the shows they judge. (minutes
1-13-09)
3)
Still Applies! Llama Judges may judge up to 25 alpacas in an
Alpaca Show if the following requirements are met. "Judges
successfully completing an Advanced Llama Judges Clinic (with limited
alpaca, may judge combined llama and alpaca shows if alpacas do not
exceed 25 in number." (p.136; part S; Section 4; B; 12)
AND "Requirements For An Alpaca Show: Shows must have an approved
ALSA Alpaca Judge, for shows with 25 or more alpacas in a breed."
(p. 18; Part D; Section C; 1) (minutes of 1-13-09)
4) Just a reminder that in selecting
a judge for your show, the level of the show only reflects the classes
your show offers. The show level does not equal the level of the
judge you need to hire - they are two separate issues. The level
of the show represents the classes that you are offering. The
level of the judge is relative to how many animals they can judge due,
for the most part, to experience. A Judge can judge up to a
maximum number of animals as listed for their level of judging.
All judges should be given the opportunity for judging and it is
suggested that you do not use a Senior Judge for a show that a Level
Judge is allowed to do.

Important!
ILR Number
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The
ILR number for each registered animal must be included in your results
sheets for each show. The ALSA database needs these registration
numbers to help increase accuracy when posting show results. An
animal who is not registered, but meets the exceptions stated in the 14th
edition of the Handbook, p. 18, may still show in an ALSA Show.
Registration rules have not changed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sanctioning Your Show with the
ALSA Office
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This is a reminder that your show must be properly
sanctioned with the ALSA Office 90 days before the date of your
show. No show promotion may be done until show sanctioning is
complete. This not only includes the ALSA sanctioning fee, but
includes the items for Show Approval on page 14 of the 15th edition ALSA
Handbook. "Show Manager must submit the exhibitor show packet
(general rules, format, and list of classes) before publication of the
show to the ALSA Office at least 90 days prior to the date of the
show". More detailed information is also listed on
page 14. Listed below, take note of additional important points
that must be included in your show information.
Show Sanctioning Form is here. |

Promoting Your Show on the ALSA
Website
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let Us Help You!
Many shows are now putting all their information and forms on the web rather
than spending the money to mail out information to potential
exhibitors. ALSA can help you promote your show in two ways:
1. If you do not have a website or any space to
put your show information on the web, you can put all your forms on the
ALSA website for only $20. There will be a link to all your show
information right next to your show listing on the ALSA Show
Calendar.
2. If you do have a Show website, ALSA will put
a link to your show information right next to your show listing on
the ALSA Show Calendar at no charge. Be sure to provide the Office
with the URL address when you sanction your show so they can add it with your show information. |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Important Info Must Be Included In Your Show Information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) It states in the Handbook that all
sanctioned shows must include the specific instruction in
their show information as
to whether a youth 8 to 12 years of age is permitted to show an intact
male over 24 months of age. It is not recommended by ALSA however
the final decision lies with Show Management.
Part I, Section 5, K
(14th edition) reads as follows:
“It is recommended that exhibitors 8 years through 12 years of age not show intact males over 24 months of age, with the choice of acceptance or decline lying with show management and stated in their premium show booklet.” |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Adding A Fleece Show to Your Llama Show
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) If you are adding a fleece/fiber
show to your llama show, please list it as a separate Fiber Show so
fiber enthusiasts can locate it on the Fiber Show list. A Fiber
Show requires a separate show sanctioning fee, separate results, and
separate show fees. The show may have the same name as your llama
show but add it in as separate listing for the Fiber Show - eg. Fuzzy
Llama Show and Fuzzy Fiber Show.
2) ALSA fees for a Fleece Show are $3.00 each entry ONLY if
the entry is not entered into a Halter or Performance class at the
show. If the animal is also in a halter or performance class, the
$5.00 ALSA fee also covers the fleece class - there is no other ALSA
fee. |
