Selection Of Judges For
Shows
A show superintendent may hire any
appropriate Judge from the current Judge's list posted on the ALSA
website. The Show Superintendent has the final decision as to a
Judge that only judges ALSA shows or one that also judges for other show
associations. A Level Judge may judge a show with up to 125
llamas. A Senior Judge has no restrictions on number of animals in
the show.
For multiple judged shows, show management may hire both a Level Judge and a
Senior Judge whenever possible for multiple shows under 125 animals.
Assistant Performance Judges of an level may be employed to work in the ring
with a head judge.
