Van Judging

(Show and Shine in a Box)



Several years ago, the Nationalsâ Committee was asked to put together a van classification system.  This is a classification system used at each Nationalsâ that ensures that a van will be in the same class each year and if any changes were made the van would be moved to the proper class to make the system consistent.



What is Van Judging in a Box?  It consists of judging sheets, clipboards, pencils, calculators, a 3-hole punch, forms, etc. for your use at the Nationalsâ.  You will also find binders for each make of van.  In the binders are sheets that have all the categories and year breaks for that make and model.  Use of these items is MANDATORY.  When your event is over the data you give us will be used to update a computer database that consists of all the judging information gathered since 1995.  The Host will supply Judging sheets for both day and night shows as well as the dash card.



            We recommend that “The Show and Shine” be held on Friday and Classification a few hours on Thursday or Friday morning this is to give the Host group time to collate the results and prepare the trophies.  It gives you a rain day, etc. If you feel that you have enough support to do this on Saturday, you may do so.  It takes about 4 hours to do the paperwork after all the results have been turned in.  So, if you choose to do this on Saturday start early.

 We will certify judges and have a pool of judges available to the host group. These judges unless they are hosts will still be able to show their vans, they will not however, be judging their class.  We will have a seminar at Council of Council to and at the Nationalsâ to certify your judges and anyone else who is interested.   All judges must be certified.

If you have any further questions about van judging, please feel free to contact any of the following people who are on the Competition Committee.  We will be happy to assist you in any way possible.  We want your experience as a van judge to be a good one.



The host group must supply adequate numbers of judges (16-24).   The Nats Board will certify the judges before the classification and van show.  Certification will require a few hours of the individuals' time.  The board will hopefully have certified judges available for BACKUP.  Host group should not depend on the backup judges.  Host group also must supply 2-4 people for simple bookkeeping duties to get the results tabulated in a timely manner.  Tabulating and entering results should take about 3 hours after the conclusion of judging.  Trophies need to be arranged, in order on the stage at least one hour before the scheduled start of the awards ceremony.  The stage area should have adequate seating, and an adequate PA system
