Guest Posted September 2, 2000 Share Posted September 2, 2000 AACA has it's judging manual. You can purchase it directly from the AACA office.<P>400 points is attainable if your car is in a condition exactly as it left the factory. <P>Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 3, 2000 Share Posted September 3, 2000 What does 400/1000 points consist of? Is there a website or book that provides all details to how these judging points/system work?<P>Once knowing what these points are, knowing how to acheive the nationals or local awards/competitions will result.

ronbarn Posted September 14, 2000 Share Posted September 14, 2000 Once upon a time there was a 1000 point system. And there have been 100 point systems, 75 point systems, and others in betweeen. For many years, AACA has used the 400 point system. If you see an advertisement that a car scored 1000 points as an indication of perfection, it is from another club.<P>Basically the approach is that all vehicles going onto the field are assumed to have a judging value of 400 points. The judges look at the vehicle with the criteria that it must appear as it did when it left the factory. They look for authenticity AND condition. A standard judging form is used and deductions are taken off of the 400 points for nonauthentic items or for less than appropriate condition.<P>That is a very simplistic explanation. You will need to attend a judging school, apprentice team, CJE, and then get some experience as a judge to understand some of the things that make the AACA system work as well as it does. You should also get a copy of the judging manual for more explanations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 14, 2000 Share Posted September 14, 2000 A little history on the 1000 point system. For a short period of time around 1970 AACA DID use a 1000 point judging form. It was designed to be a more precise evaluator than the previously used 100 point form, but it proved to be unwieldy and was soon replaced by the current 400 point form. ~~ hvs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
