The flagger is the judge in all timed events, except in Packing Division and Driving Division. A flagger at the chute is a judge in timed events. Flaggers need not be approved judges but should know AMA rules. The decision of the judge is final.
Flaggers or timers may be elected by the contestants if management agrees.
Stopwatches in timed events must be in the 10th or 100th of a second.
All timed events must have two or more stopwatches and/or an electric eye. If the electric eye is used, one backup watch is required. Timers and backup watches for the electric eye are to be positioned at the appropriate starting line/pole or other position for the event. No timing is to be done by the announcer.
If there is an excessive number of entries in any timed event, slackust be run and drawn for.
It is requested that show management make every effort to avoid preliminary runs in gymkhana events.
AMA points will go to the final official placing from total entries.
