MECATE's 2004 POPS Entries - OF & CM Classlists

Every month from February through November of the show year, MECATE holds 2 POPS (points only photo shows) that are judged by volunteers. There is a show for OFs and a show for CMs each of the designated months. Both electronic/digital/scans as online entries and hardcopy photos as ground mailed entries are accepted. POPS are reserved for MECATE members only. Nationals in January are the pinnacle of our photo showing season, followed by our Year End Awards. Due to the dynamic nature of the POPS, classes may be split during the year as entries warrant. "50" entries in a class is the 'magic number' where we look at a logical way to split a class out.
