SILVER AMATEURS (50 & OVER)
NASMA-approved shows may offer any amateur performance class as a 50 and over class in addition to the regular amateur class.
These classes are designed to provide competition for the more mature amateur exhibitors. These classes will be designated as the “Silver Amateurs” classes. An amateur may begin competing in the Silver Amateurs classes on the day that they turn 50 years of age. That amateur may also continue to show in the regular amateur classes.
Silver amateur points earned cannot be used toward NASMA Amateur Awards or World Championship Show qualifying. A Silver Amateur Certificate of Merit will be awarded to a year end Silver Amateur competitor with the highest earned points.
Further, these classes are to be reviewed at the end of the first year offered to consider the possibility of becoming a show high-point division.

Justification and impact if rule is not changed |
| We have several “senior” adults showing at the NASMA shows. This would provide something special for those 50 and over. Hopefully, the more senior people who have thought they might like to try showing but have been too afraid would be more inclined to do so if only showing against others who are older. |
