Official Clerk/Steward Requirements

Adopted by the American Fancy Rat and Mouse Association

1. Members must attend three (3) or more training sessions before they are officially recognized. These training sessions will be held at any time where there are two (2) or more persons interested in learning how to clerk or steward.
2. A clerk is one who fills out the judging cards as the judge makes his placements and fills out the Show Winners sheets and/or any other forms that may be required for the show. Also, the clerk helps the judge with the classes being judged and assists the judge in following the proper judging order.
3. A steward is one who calls for the classes to come up to the table, and sees that the animals being brought up to the table are put in the correct order to be judged. The steward must also see to it that there is an uninterrupted flow of classes for the judge.
