From: Chairman, JCNA Judge's Concours Rules Committee (JCRC)

 

The JCNA Judge's Concours Rules Committee became functional in mid January 2002. Along with developing its charter, the board began considering a wide range of concours rule changes in order to "improve the quality and standardization of both the rules and judging, encourage concours participation, and promote the Jaguar marque".

The following proposals have been approved by the JCRC:

JCRC Proposal #01-2002

1. Mr. Russell G. Beard Jaguar Club of Central Arizona proposed changes in the wording of Chapter IV, A. 1. Owner/Entrant a). Owner, and in Chapter IV, A, 1. d) Entrant Responsibility. He wishes to emphasize the requirement that vehicles entered into JCNA competition be owned by a private individual, private individuals, or private/family trusts. He also asks that, if the judges challenge ownership, the vehicle should not be allowed to compete until the matter is resolved to the judge's satisfaction.

2. The current language: Chapter IV, Heading A, rule 1:

" a) Owner

Owner is considered to mean that ALL requirements of legal ownership by the named Owner have been met in the state or province of residence of the Owner or in the state or province of the vehicle license plate registration. This includes leased Jaguars. The Entrant must either be the Owner or a member of the Owner's immediate family."

3. The JCRC approved change is:

"a) Owner

Owner is considered to mean that ALL requirements of legal ownership by the named Owner have been met is the state or province of residence of the Owner or in the state or province of the vehicle license plate registration. The ownership shall be in the name of one or more private individuals, or in the name of a private trust. In the case of leased Jaguars, the registration shall be in the name of one or more individuals or in the name of a private trust. The Entrant must be either the Owner or a member of the Owner's immediate family."

4. The current language: Chapter IV, A, 1:

"d) Entrant Responsibility

The entrant has all the responsibilities of the Owner including being prepared to present any documentation required for proof of ownership or authenticity items, or for answering any questions which the Judging team may have."

5. The JCRC approved change is:

"d) Entrant Responsibility

The entrant has all the responsibilities of the Owner including being prepared to present any documentation required for proof of ownership or authenticity items, or for answering any questions which the Judging team may have. If the ownership is challenged, the entrant shall be prepared to provide necessary paperwork to clarify ownership before being allowed to participate."

JCRC Proposal #03-2002

1. The following changes are considered to be a start at making clubs take judges and judging more seriously by emphasizing the importance of naming a Chief Judge and certifying that the JCNA Concours Rules were followed in determining results.

2. The current language Ch. I, A.2. :

Number of Concours Per Year

"Each JCNA affiliated club may hold only ONE JCNA sanctioned Concours d'Elegance per annum."

"The Concours Chair or Chief Judge must submit the Master Concours Report Form with scores to the JCNA c/o the name and address printed on the form. Be sure to include the club name and address and the Chief Judge's name and address on the form. Submission of this form constitutes a certification that this concours was conducted in accordance with all JCNA Concours judging requirements. Subsequent indications to the contrary may be grounds for nullification of the results."
