A Lone Writer - Here in the south, we have few day of show entry shows.  There is little need for comment cards, though they are not unheard of. In a smaller show, it is possible for one person to take care of the table secretary's duties, assisting the judge, keeping rabbits on the table in front of the judge, and completing the control sheet.

 

Writer And Ramrod - Especially with larger shows, it is beneficial to have a separate ramrod.  The ramrod's job is to call rabbits to the table and make sure that the judge never has to wait before judging the next animal. 

 

Comment Card Writer And Writer For Control Sheet - For pre-entry shows with comment cards, you may find it helpful to have one person find the comment card and complete it, while another person completes the control sheet.  This pairing allows the judge to continuing giving comments on rabbits without waiting for the writer to switch jobs and complete the control sheet after the comment card.

 

Comment Card Writer and Creator Of Control Sheet - For day of show entry shows, there won't usually be a control sheet (you may find exceptions with small specialty shows).  So one person completes the comment cards while the other person writes down the placements on a blank form.  Some clubs may want all placements, some the top ten, while others only want the top five recorded.

 

Ramrod, Comment Card Writer, And Control Sheet Writer - This is a deluxe set-up with separate volunteers for each separate job.  Generally this combination is reserved for large shows.  This is the combination we use at Convention (though the control sheet writer is not behind the judging table for Holland Lops, anyway.)  Coordination and working together is important.  The last thing you want to do is be at cross-purposes.  Any time you have a separate ramrod, you have to share information.  Writers must not only assist the judge, but also assist the ramrod, so that he or she can be effective.
