AT THE MOMENT WE WILL NOT SPONSOR A SHOW THAT HAS MORE THAN 3 CLASSES RUNNING AT THE SAME TIME.

Sub-classes also considered a class of it’s own.

So if you host an in-hand or a halter show, and your show has  3 sub-classes - like young\open\senior, it counts as 3 classes. 

As it is 3 different groups of entrants who’s submissions you will have to judge.

Same goes for turn-over shows. 

If you want to run a bi-monthly show, you can submit list of classes for each “season” in one go, but in each turn over there should not be more than 3 classes.

If the host will prove their reliability in judging 3 or more shows they will be welcome to give a go at hosting bigger shows that require bigger commitment.

Shows hosted by members that are approved and sponsored by the group will count towards 2k AP achievement. The placing in these shows will get the winner/placing AP bonus as  any official show/event placing would.
To be approved and sponsored by the group the show must fit the next requirements and conditions:

SHOW MUST BE JUDGED BY:
A) Effort

B) Effort and Group Official traits/stats/items/companions/SFT/SND etc 

C) Effort + Group Official traits/items/companions + Original conditions/items/rebuffs 

JUDGING RUBRICS:
Use the shedu standard effort-based judging rubric .

It contains all three options.
You can use it as is (preferable) or add your own score criterias.

Reminder:

You can add items and bonuses to the team:
1 x tack set
1 x food
1 x companion
3 x prep show items.

MANDATORY NPC STAND-INS

Each class is required to have 4 NPC “stand-in” teams whose scores will be decided by RNG.
This is done to prevent auto-wins in case of only a few competitors in the class.
How RNG-score is set:
If classic full group judging rubric is used:
NPC team gets their RNG-part rolled from 0 to the stat CAP.
Each aspect of art score is also rolled via RNG:

• If max points are 5+:

NPC RNG is rolled 0 to 4

• If max points are 10+:
  NPC RNG is rolled 0 to 7
  
  

This way NPC teams present real competition, yet are very unlikely to outdo real players who put effort in their artwork.

While we do trust our members and those who devoted to the big cat craze seriously enough to host the show we might request a proof recording of RNGs for stand-in NPCs being rolled or ask the right for one of the admins to roll the RNG-scores for the NPC-teams during the judging if any concerns should arise among competitors or Shedu Group members. 

However we do believe in honest approach of everyone involved and that such measures won’t be needed at all.

SHOW MINIMAL REQUIREMENTS SHOULD INCLUDE:
1) Art: Half-body toned or coloured + Handler/Rider visible (half-body)*

* Exception: Halter/In-hand shows + Dog agility/water jumps/etc-like classes where handlers are not mandatory to be depicted.

2) Literature: 600 words minimum (english or russian language only)

3) DA-member can enter no more than two teams* in each class.

*Team is a group of a cat or cats and rider/handler or driver (and driver’s helpers if that is required) that perform as an entrant eligible for the placing/show rewards.
So for a show jumping class a team is  a cat and rider.  For driving class it can be several cats hitched in one cart and a driver and helpers.

HOST’S PARTICIPATION

• Host’s participation is allowed, but they should request their entries to be judged by one of the shedu group admins to keep the scoring fair and unbiased.

• Hosts can also participate and put their teams in last places instead (leaving their entries “unjudged”)

• Hosts can get prizes if their team is the only one to enter the class.

• Hosts should also follow the rules applied to all other participants.

JUDGING THE SHOW:

Host should provide judging of the show within:

• 1 month for shows that are set as seasonal turn-over shows or those that run all the time.

• 6 months for big single/solo shows that run just once.

If the host fails to judge their show in said time, they will be contacted by shedu admin team. If there won’t be any response within a month,  show will be  judged by admin team and the prizes will be given out to the winners.
All prizes sponsored by the group will be given out as is.
If prizes include art  by the host, group won’t be fulfilling this type of prize.
If the prize pool includes slots to cats owned privately by the host - the slots will be granted for winners by group admins.

• Prizes donated by other members, prizes including/involving goods from other ARPGs, rl money or da-points will not be given out as shedu admin team has no authority over those.

• The Host will not be able to apply any shows for a group sponsorship for a calendar year after failing to judge the sponsored show in a timely manner without a valid reason.

• Notice! Group will intervene only after a complaint about the situation will be  filled by a member waiting for the judging to be done.
  
  If the host experiences complications in life or goes missing from DA all together etc the group will intervene and judge the show after 6 months for recurring (turn over) shows and after a year for single run shows.

RNG-Shows

We will not sponsor RNG-shows or shows with a heavy RNG influence that is not dictated by official shedu items or traits. (Heavy influence - more than 30% of the total score).

RNG is allowed to solve tie scores however.

SPONSORED SHOWS JOURNAL will get the Stamp of Approval and show itself will be added to the LOG under that exact stamp.
