Classics
Classics are big shows that have several classes that you may enter. You may enter any or all of these classes. The classes are all judged separately. You are allowed unlimited entries. The following is an explanation of the rules and judging for each class.
-Conformation: Same rules/judging as the Open Show (listed above), except that you are allowed unlimited entries.
-Brace: The brace class is for a pair of full grown pigs (gender does not matter). Both pigs must be registered and must be of the same breed. Ideally, the pigs' coloring/markings are somewhat similar. Both pigs must be in a show pose (the poses may be different styles). The pictures must be merged together into one picture, but may NOT overlap. The entrants are judged as a combination of BOTH the pigs' conformation along with the overall appearance of the brace. The judge will award the Best Brace and a Reserve. There must be at least three entries in a class in order to award a Reserve. If there is only one brace they will win a DW (Default Winner) and no points.
-Progeny: This class is for either a boar or a sow with ONE of his/her progeny. Ideally, the pigs' coloring/markings are somewhat similar. The progeny can either be either a piglet or full grown, but must be registered. The parent must be full grown. The age of the progeny will have no impact on the judging. Both pigs must be in show poses, although the pose styles may be different. The pictures must be merged together into one picture, but may NOT overlap. The entrants are judged as a combination of BOTH the parent and the progeny's conformation, along with the overall appearance of the pair. The judge will award the Best Boar, Reserve Boar, Best Sow, and Reserve Sow. If there is only one progeny entry (of either gender) they will win a DW (Default Winner) and no points.
-Baby Conformation: This class is for pigs who are not yet full grown. It follows the same rules/judging as the Open Show (listed above), except that the pigs are not full grown and you are allowed unlimited entries.
-Champions Competition: Only LSAPC pig champions that have proof (list on LSAPC site) are allowed to compete in this class. Pigs are judged similar to those in the Open Show format though the wins go towards their GrCH title and do not effect any non-champion pig.
