The following guidelines should be used to calculate the GCLPA Top Ten Points:

You (the exhibitor) will be responsible for calculating and keep your points for each show.

Use the GCLPA Scoring System Chart, on the website

At the end of the show year, you will need to pick ONE Georgia LAMB that has the highest total points for FOUR shows. ONLY POINTS FROM YOUR BEST Georgia LAMB WILL BE COUNTED.

Any points earned from the GCLPA Futurity are DOUBLED for points consideration!!!

Total your SHOWMANSHIP points for FOUR shows.

Add the total points for the best lamb to the showmanship points. This equals your total points for the year.

Examples of past shows that were eligible for points calculations (not inclusive list):

  • Atlantic Coast Classic – Sylvinia, GA
  • West Georgia Lamb Classic – Carrollton, GA
  • Farm Credit – Perry, GA
  • GCLPA Futurity (points doubled for this show) – Perry, GA

The GCLPA officers and/or directors will review the tally sheet for correctness after submittal. Corrections will be made to mathematical errors.
