Hello AMLRC members –

I've just updated points on the sweepstakes website for the 2025-2026 season. 🙂 Check 'em out! (site address is at the bottom of this post).

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE BELOW.

Note - every points update consists of 5 total PDF files:

*INCLUDED SHOWS LISTING – YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THIS!
*Open by rank
*Open by exhibitor
*Youth by rank
*Youth by exhibitor

Please be sure to check the included shows listing! This listing will answer most questions you may have. EMAIL me at [email protected] with any questions / concerns. Please don't use Facebook / Messenger for sweeps related correspondence (neither to my personal Facebook nor the AMLRC page). I know it’s very tempting to hit that little “message” icon – however, the only way for your question to come directly to the person answering is to email me. You can also call me at 414.217.1512 – I do work fulltime, so if calling on a weekday, please do so only after 5PM Central.

This update includes show dates 6/2025 thru 2/2026 for which reports were received in good order PRIOR to 5/26/26.

These points were to have been included in the Spring 2026 Gazette – but for the 1st time in over a decade of doing sweepstakes, I missed a deadline. The 1st half of 2026 has been, to be honest, awful, most recently with the death of my father in early May. I can assure you I take the job very seriously & am working diligently to get caught up

Late reports are in red bold on the SANCTIONED SHOWS listing on the sweepstakes site. It is advisable to keep an eye out for these – I contact at around 10 days late – however, quite often exhibitors have far more pull with getting these issues resolved. Reports received with errors are in bright green fill color.

Thanks!
-Nicole
