2. Registered cultivars are to be entered on scapes whose overall height does not exceed 36 inches.
3. All seedlings (including pre-registered cultivars) shall be severed as near the base as possible regardless of height. A seedling having won the AHS rosette in any other show is not eligible.

6. Cultivars listed on the official spider list must be exhibited in Section 6 unless they are: (1) a Popularity Poll exhibit, (2) part of a local collection, (3) a Youth section exhibit, or (4) registered as a multiform cultivar, for example, as a Double/Spider, Double/Spider/Unusual Form, Double/Spider/Polytepal, Spider/Unusual Form/Polytepal or Spider/Polytepal.

5. The appropriate AHS scale of points will be used for: (1) Registered cultivars on-scape, (2) Seedlings on-scape, (3) Individual flowers of registered cultivars off-scape.
6. The AHS standard system of awards will be used.
7. All scapes receiving the AHS rosettes or purple ribbons must score 95 or above by the AHS scale of points.

11. If Division I, AHS Rosette eligible Sections 1-10, are sub-divided or judged by more than one panel of judges, the purple awards must be point scored to determine a single winner since there is only one AHS rosette for each of these sections.
************************************************************************************* *
The following classification/placement code was adopted by the AHS Board of Directors in October 2007, and it reflects the changes brought about by the recent, currently still relatively few, multiform cultivar registrations and how those registrations affect classification and placement of multiform and polytepalous cultivars in AHS exhibitions.
Multiform Classification Code for Shows
Polytepals were formerly exhibited in the corresponding single-flower sections by size. They will now be exhibited with double flowers in Section 5, Registered Double and Polytepal Flowers. Hemerocallis cultivars are being registered as multi-formed – Double/Unusual Form, Double/Spider/ Polytepal, Double/Spider, etc. In order to assist Classification Chairs in determining where to place them in a show, a Multiform Classification Code has been designed. A show section may be subdivided into classes if enough cultivars are entered to warrant it.
Registered as: Place in Show Section:
Double/Spider ……………………………….. Double and Polytepal Double/Unusual Form ………………………. Double and Polytepal Double/Polytepal …………………………….. Double and Polytepal Double/Spider/Unusual Form ……………… Double and Polytepal Double/Spider/Polytepa l……………………. Double and Polytepal Double/Unusual Form/Polytepal …………… Double and Polytepal Spider/Unusual Form ……………………….. Spider Spider/Unusual Form/Polytepal ……………. Double and Polytepal Spider/Polytepal ……………………………… Double and Polytepal Unusual Form/Polytepal …………………….. Double and Polytepal Polytepal ……………………………………… Double and Polytepal

Judging of each cultivar in each class shall be done by the American Hemerocallis Society Standard System of Awards
Ribbons Per Class
For registered cultivars, only one blue, red and yellow may be awarded in a given name class. For seedlings, each exhibit in the section is judged on its own merit and is thus an award-eligible class.
MAJOR AWARDS
The AHS Purple Award is awarded to each blue ribbon winner scoring 95 or more within Sections 1-10 of Division I.
The AHS Rosette (Special Award Rosette) is awarded to the most outstanding purple ribbon entry in Sections 1-10 of Division 1.
The AHS Best-in-Show Rosette is awarded to the best of the AHS Rosette winners in Section 1-10 of Division 1.
The AHS Sweepstakes Rosette is awarded to the exhibitor winning the most blue ribbons in Division I, Sections 1-10. In the event of a tie, purple ribbons will be counted. If a tie should still exist, red, then yellow ribbons will be counted.
SPECIAL HORTICULTURE AWARDS
The AHS Achievement Medal is awarded to the originator of each collection of scapes in Division I, Section 11 scoring an average of 90 points or more, and which in the opinion of the judges, shows adequate merit and distinctiveness as compared with existing cultivars. The cultivar must be a seedling or pre-registered (a pre-registered cultivar is considered a seedling). Entries must be entered by number as assigned by the Classification Committee. Each of the judges on the panel assigned to judge the entries will point score each scape individually. The score sheets will be returned to the General Show Chairperson who will tabulate the scores and announce the winner.
The AHS Award of Appreciation, a rosette, may be given at the discretion of the local show committee, not the judges, to one or more noncompetitive educational exhibits in Division III and other Display Only categories to show appreciation for the significant efforts involved.
The Ophelia Taylor Horticultural Award is awarded to every collection in Division I, Section 12 scoring 95 or more points per scape.
Note: Local Rules cannot require a judge to be asked to judge induced tetraploids or species for which no registered standard exists, or to treat behavior, like doubling or polytepalism, as a merit if the exhibits are not registered as such.
