PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES FOR ENTRANTS AND JUDGES -
1. Chrysler
300 letter series cars (1955 thru 1965) only are eligible for
concours, competition and awards. Entries must be owned by members of
the Chrysler 300 Club International, Inc.
2. Entrants
must complete requested information at top of the judging form and
place form under windshield wiper. After judging is concluded, the
form will be picked up.
3. The
owner, entrant, or designated representative must remain with the car
until judging has been complete. Judges cannot assume proper
operation of vehicle components and will deduct points accordingly if
no responsible person is present when required.
4. During
their inspection, judges are obligated to avoid any careless
procedures which could result in damage to a valuable automobile. In
most cases, the entrant should be asked to operated the various
vehicle accessories.
5. The
burden of proof that any non-authentic appearing items (i.e.: special
paint, unavailable accessories, etc.) were originally on his car
rests with the entrant. If inadequate or no evidence of authenticity
can be presented, the appropriate points will be deducted.
6. Entrants
should not engage in unnecessarily lengthy conversation with judges.
Restraint in this area will speed the judging process and reduce any
semblance of partiality.
7. Judges
will not be permitted to judge their own car if it is in competition
for an award or seniors qualification. Every attempt will be made,
however, to assign judges in classes in which their car is not
competing.
8. First
place awards will be presented to junior division cars achieving the
highest scores in each of the four classes, providing that score is
at least 800 points. Second place will be awarded in each of the four
classes providing a score of at least 750 points is attained. Blue
ribbons will be given all cars scoring at least 750 points, but which
were not awarded first or second place.
The
senior division winner will be awarded a best of show trophy donated
by Chrysler Corporation. This trophy will be relinquished when a
different best of show winner is determined, to be replaced with a
small permanent award. All winner's names will be inscribed on the
traveling trophy.
9. Cars
achieving the combination of 900 or more points at one meet and first
place in their class at another meet will be placed in senior
division. Only one award will be given in senior division; best of
show. Best of show winners will remain eligible for the same award at
succeeding meets. Senior division cars will not be permitted to
return to junior division competition.
10. Cars
receiving first place awards in their classes are not eligible for
any award at the next two (2) nationally sanctioned concours. They
may, however, be judged at such meets to provide the owner with
information which can be beneficial in preparation for future
concours events or to obtain point qualification for seniors
division.
11.
Concourse participants having questions or grievances should contact
G. Cunningham or D. DeButts or G. Riehl. These three will then confer
with the affected judge (as well as others, if necessary) and reach a
determination. It is recommended the contact be made as expeditiously
as possible so any potential point changes can be reflect in the
final score to awards presentation.
12. Any
constructive criticism concerning the judging form and procedure is
appreciated and, in fact, solicited. Please present comments in
writing to the judging committee chairperson.
G. A. Cunningham
