A: This is a Participant Choice voting event.

Q: I don’t like Participant Voting Shows. How is yours different?
A: Yes, we are well aware of the pros and cons of participant voting vs. judged shows. This has been a long
time debate amongst car enthusiasts for years. We may not have perfected participant voting, we have
developed a specialized process to make our participant voting the fairest it can be. If you are a participant,
we ask that you do not vote on your own car. If you are part of a car club, we ask that you do not vote on
other club members cars. If you do, we have a way to check this on the backend when we tally the votes.
Therefore, we request that everyone abide by this process. Those that violate this request will have those
votes eliminated on the backend when we validate the ballots. Play fair and cast your votes as requested
so as not to waste any of your votes.

Q: What is the Schultz Cup?
A: Since our show coordinator makes all of the trophies by hand, this was originally the one and only trophy
made from glass (not by the show coordinator) that he could hand out as an award to the car of his pick.
This award is handled in the following manner"
• A vehicle can only win the Schultz Cup once in its lifetime.
• This award be used as a “Best of Show” Award
• It will be awarded to the vehicle that receives the most votes based on the ratio of entries per category
at the event. Please refer to the note below for more information.
• In the event of a tie, the coordinator will cast the deciding vote to determine a winner.
• In the event that the winning vehicle has previously won this award, then the vehicle with the second
most votes will receive the award.
• In the rare event that several of the top vote receivers have won the award in the past, we will continue
through the top votes until we identify a vehicle that has not previously won the award.
NOTE: All categories are considered for this award. While we understand that the categories with the lower
registration counts will have higher participant votes (like motorcycles and tractors), we have created a
formula that considers the number of entries in each category and fairly determines a winner based on car
count and total vote ratio within each category. Be assured that all categories are fairly evaluated and run
through our formula to determine the precise winner of this award.

Q: How does your award presentation process work?
A: Our awards process is as follows:
• Participant voting sheets must be turned in by 12:00pm. This gives you a good couple of hours to
vote on your favorite vehicles. Those folks that arrive after registration closes at 9:30am assumes the
risk of their vehicle not receiving votes.
• By no later than 2:00pm we will start announcing the awards.
• We will announce on the PA system at least 5-10 minutes before the awards start.
• Award winners will be announced one every 20 seconds. Winners will collect their awards and get
their photo taken when they arrive to collect their award inside the Community Building. This ensures
a steady flow of the presentation process.
• For the photos, we will attempt either a group photo of five winners or do them individually. These will
be taken inside as your collect your award.
