6.        Eligibility is gained by membership and maintained through sportsmanship.  The Year End Awards Committee is empowered to investigate any and all acts of unsportsmanlike conduct and take whatever degree of disciplinary action deemed necessary, which may include the loss of eligibility to participate in the Open Show Year End Awards Program.  Committee action is subject to the rules as defined in Section II-G 3 of the WApHC by-laws.  Any grievances or protests must be submitted in writing, giving the conditions, reasons and show bill.  This must be submitted to the point keeper no more than 14 days from the last approved show season.
7.        To be eligible to receive a NEWApHC Year End Award, at least 1 point must be gained in the area of open show competition.
8.       The best 12 shows will count.  A tie will be broken by the number of competitors beaten.  For remaining ties, duplicate awards will be given.
9.        There is a nomination fee of $5.00 per horse per division and that is to be paid to WApHC.

EARNING POINTS
1.        Points can be accumulated from March 1st through September 30th at any Open Horse Show.
