BREED ID
You will identify up to 25 rabbits or cavies. You must state the breed, showroom classification, whether it is a 4 class or 6 class animal, and the registration variety. A separate animal or question will act as a tiebreaker. No abbreviations are accepted.
JUDGING CONTEST
You will judge classes of four animals. There will be at least one class of cavies. The breed, sex, and class will be given to you. You will be required to place the animals in order from first to fourth. This is a timed event of 7 minutes per class. Your score will be based on how close your placement is to the placement of the judge who has placed them before the contest.
NATIONAL JUDGING TEAM
Youth wishing to be on the Judging Team for Nationals must participate in the Judging Contest on April 30th. If a Youth misses the tryouts, they may ask to be placed on a list for consideration if others that made the tryouts decide not to attend the National Convention.
NATIONAL BREED ID TEAM
Youth wishing to be on Breed ID teams for Nationals do NOT have to participate in this contest but DO have to make at least two OSRBA practices! We can have unlimited Breed ID teams. These are formed from age appropriate youth from around the state. As many teams as possible will be formed! Those having participated in the contest in May will be guaranteed a spot.
