Adams and Lincoln State Fair Judging Contest Policies
Judging contest scores will be adjusted to a “percentage of high score basis” so that they can be compared between contests. For example, a contestant earning a score of 263 in a contest where the highest score obtained by any contestant (regardless of age) was 287 would receive an adjusted score of 91.6% (263 divided by 287). Teams for State Fair Judging will be filled in the following manner:
- Eight Seniors having the highest total scores (sum of the adjusted score from two highest qualifying contests) will qualify to judge at State Fair. Qualifiers may compete on teams or as individuals. Senior teams will be filled with Senior 4-H members only. (Note: State Fair now allows up to 10 member teams.)
- Intermediates will be selected in the same manner as Seniors. Intermediate teams will be filled with Intermediates only.
- Intermediate and Senior alternates will be members having the next highest total qualifying scores. 4-H members having participated in only one qualifying contest will not be eligible to be alternates.
