Last month
we put out that we would be continuing the Regional Points with the shows that
were left in each region. Unfortunately, since then, almost all of the State
Fairs hosting regional shows have cancelled. The Show Committee had a meeting
at the junior nationals in Texas and made the recommendation to suspend the
regional points for this year because of all the cancellations. The ASA Board
of Directors followed the recommendation of the Show Committee and as a result
the Super Regional and Regional point system will be suspended for the
2020-2021 show season.

With this
change, we are still going to move forward with National Show Points. As, a way
to give out more awards for this show season the ASA Board approved to add
division winners for our National Show Points. We will score these division
winners with the same points that allocate for the National Show Female and
Bull awards. It is also approved that there must be at least two National Shows
during the 2020-2021 show season in order for any national awards to be
presented. This does not mean that an animal must exhibit at two National
Shows, just that two Nationals Shows must take place. So far, one of the
National Shows have cancelled, Keystone International Livestock Exposition. If
any more cancel we will get these updates to the membership as best as we can.
During these unprecedented times because of Covid-19 we all have to anticipate
possible adjustments happening to everything we do. The resulting awards for
the National Shows will be presented at the 2021 Annual Meeting, which is the
kickoff of our 150th Anniversary Celebration.
