Yearend Awards Program
NORTHWEST
COORDINATING COMMITTEE (NWCC)
The
purpose of the NWCC is to assist
the member clubs of the Pacific
Northwest in promoting paint horses.
NWCC member clubs must be an APHA
approved club and be represented
at NWCC meetings by 2 delegates
and/or 2 alternates. The NWCC
delegates and alternates are elected
annually by their club to represent
each club and serve as officers,
committee members and workers
for NWCC meetings and programs.
FUTURITIES
The
NWCC futurities have been offered
since 1978 and include halter
and riding classes with winners
receiving prize money and a custom
designed award. Each NWCC member
club annually provides $200, which
is dedicated to purchasing the
awards and funding the futurities.
Futurity sponsors are also solicited.
DIRECTORY
The
NWCC directory is produced yearly
as an opportunity for NWCC to
publish year end award winners,
coming year show dates, club member’s
names & addresses and NWCC
club names with contact persons.
The NWCC directory is also an
opportunity for paint horse enthusiasts
to advertise club show dates,
stallions, trainers, trailer and
tack stores, etc. Copies are mailed
to NWCC members and advertisers
with the remainder distributed
throughout the Pacific Northwest
area, at the World show and APHA
Convention & Workshop.
YEAR
END AWARDS
NWCC
has developed a very extensive
year-end awards system. To participate
in the year end award system a
person must join a NWCC member
club prior to the first show they
want to have points to count.
Each NWCC approved show secretary
is responsible to send results
to point keeper for tabulation
of year end awards points. Year
end awards rules are published
in this Directory on page
(pending).
Awards
MUST be picked up at the Year
End Awards Banquet (or prior arrangements
made) or will be forfeited.
All
APHA approved classes that are
offered at NWCC approved shows
receive a year-end hi-point or
reserve hi-point award if a minimum
of 25 NWCC points are earned in
that class (with two exceptions
– weanling halter &
leadline – see YEA Rules).
The NWCC annual meeting is held
in December and Year End Awards
banquet and second meeting are
now held in January or February
(visit nwcc-apha.com for actual
dates).
Funding
for the NWCC year-end awards system
is provided by a $1 per judge
per class fee which is collected
by the show and forwarded to the
NWCC Treasurer. The money is distributed
as follows: 70% to year-end awards;
10% to Points keeper; and 20%
to APHA National Directors and
Alternates, who attend either/both
Workshop and Convention, to help
defray expenses. National directors
need to contact NWCC for the current
requirements for reimbursement.
This information is available
on the NWCC website or by contacting
the current NWCC Secretary.
SHOW
DATES & JUDGES
In
an effort to give each NWCC club
the opportunity to host the best
possible horse shows as well as
acccess for contestants to attend
as many shows as possible, NWCC
coordinates show dates and judges
(with no more than four judges
per show except the Zone One show).
A judge may only be hired to judge
one NWCC show per year. In the
rare event that a judge is hired
for multiple shows, that judge
will only be counted one time
for year end awards. In the case
of an emergency, only an exception
may be granted by the NWCC Board
to allow a duplicate judge. Any
exception needs to be submitted
to the NWCC Chairperson and Secretary
within seven days after the conclusion
of the show.
The
NWCC show and judge coordinator
maintains a current list of show
dates and judges. Show managers
should contact the coordinator
for available show dates and previously
hired judges before making commitments.
The show dates and judges are
published in the NWCC directory,
club newsletters and various other
publications. Individual clubs
are responsible for distributing
show notifications although NWCC
attempts to maintain a current
mailing list of current NWCC members.
