About this event
This seminar serves as training for PCA members who will judge concours cars at the Chesapeake Challenge. It is highly recommended that all potential judges, and experienced judges, attend this seminar.
In this seminar you will learn:
- How to correctly fill out a score sheet and what notes you should be making on it
- How our points system works for scoring cars
- How to be consistent in your evaluation of concours cars
In scoring cars for Chesapeake Challenge, we focus on preparation, cleanliness, and overall condition. We do not penalize non-originality or imperfections such as stone chips. All cars start with a score of 400 points. Individual points are deducted for areas that are deemed ill-prepared. All deductions will be in whole points. We will not use quarter or half points. Actual score sheets will not be shared with concours entrants. However, we will share information with entrants regarding the areas where points were deducted. As in previous events, we will be making use of age points. Cars are allotted additional points according to their relative age withing their class. A new metric being introduced is usage points. These points are allotted according to how many miles the car is driven. Similar to age points, this is meant to bring all cars to a more equal footing. Our goal with this judging school is to inform all judges of our rules, and provide training that will help the judging teams be consistent in scoring cars.
