AHS Major Awards Purple Award and Best-in-Section, part A • In a name class, the Purple Award (Rosette) is awarded to the highest scoring entry whose score is 95 pts. or greater • For determining the Best-in-Section, a post-it bearing the point score (calculated to 1 point) is affixed to the entry tag • The highest scoring interim score receives the section rosette
AHS Major Awards Purple Award and Best-in-Section, part B • Ties broken by re-judging perhaps using a finer interval • All post-its are then removed • If the rosette section has been judged by more than one panel, the whole set of purples is re-judged by a special panel
AHS Point Scoring System – 15 Min (Demonstration if in season) • Registered CVs • Scapes • Off-Scape Blooms • Seedling Scapes
Special Notes • Proliferations • Leave them on • No deduction if the prolif. does not distract from the overall beauty of the exhibit • Minor deduction for removal • 36” Rule – no longer required, merely suggested
