Sanctioning Fees
Sanctioning fees will be based on the number of entries that have been paid to the sanctioned show staff. The OCCA sanctioning fee will consist of $1.00 per head entered, regardless of the exhibitor’s OCCA membership status. The sanctioning fee will not exceed an amount of $300 for a sanctioned event. The sanctioning fee will be due to the OCCA Sanctioning Manager within 10 days from the conclusion the show. If an OCCA board member is present at the sanctioned event, the OCCA may collect the sanctioning fee at the conclusion of closing entries.
Reminders to show staff
If your show rules state otherwise, you must make an exception in the following cases for OCCA members:
- OCCA rules state that eligible exhibitors are between age 8 and 20 years of age; who are or were regularly enrolled in school up until graduation, if OCCA sanctioned your show, you must allow our members in this age range to show.
- OCCA rules require exhibitors to show their own animals in the ring when collecting OCCA points.
- OCCA heifer exhibitors are allowed to show 90 days from date of purchase on a heifer bill of sale to allow time for transfers and mailing of registration papers.
- OCCA will enforce the OCCA rulebook for our members in regards to points earned. We do not expect you to monitor these situations, however if your show staff sees a violation, please feel free to contact an OCCA board member or make a note on your class sheets being returned to OCCA.
Please be sure to review additional guidelines and criteria on the OCCA Website.
