The Showoff portion of SCC allows participants to compete in a show-and-shine style event. During an SCC event, Showoff and Drag Race competitions run simultaneously through-out the day.

General Judging Information
All competitors who register for the Showoff competition will receive a judging package complete with Showoff Judging Sheets. Carefully read the information in the judging package! Competitors are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the rules and information in the judging package. Failure to follow the rules and guidelines within the judging package may result in poor scoring.

Judging scores are recorded on Judging Sheets by a panel of judging personnel who have trained eyes and many years of professional show car judging experience.

A sample Judging Sheet is included in the Appendix of this guide to give competitors a general idea of the Showoff judging criteria, the scoring, and the category weightings. While, competitors may find the sample sheet helpful, please note that SCC organizers may make minor revisions to the judging package and its related scoring system before the event dates. The sample judging package provided here is for use as a general guide only.

All Showoff competitors must complete the information required on the Judging Sheet. Judges will not score vehicles with incomplete Judging Sheets or illegibly completed Judging Sheets. Print neatly!

At a minimum, Showoff competitors should remember to:

1) Fill out the competitor identification information at the top of the Judging Sheet.
2) Fill out the vehicle identification information at the top of the Judging Sheet.
3) Place a checkmark in the appropriate boxes for entry into Categories 1, 2, 3, and 4.

If there are any modifications, components, or features you would like the judges to be aware of, please describe them in the appropriate comment areas on the Judging Sheets. Please do not write in, or otherwise mark, the shaded areas of the Judging Sheet. They are for judging use only.

Competitors must ensure that Judging Sheets are placed securely onto windshields. Vehicles that do have Judging Sheets on the windshield will not be judged.

The judges will make an effort to judge all Showoff vehicles. If your vehicle is entered in both the Showoff and Drag Race, ensure that your vehicle has not missed judging while it was competing in the Drag Racing event. Ensure that your vehicle has been judged BEFORE the judging deadline.

It is your responsibility to notify judges if your vehicle has not been judged! Competitors may notify judges by reporting to the SCC registration booth.

Judging Procedure
To protect your vehicles, Judges will be wearing gloves and keeping a hands-off approach towards all Showoff vehicles. This means judges will not be popping hoods, opening doors that are closed, opening trunks that are shut, etc. If you wish to be judged in the Showoff, your vehicles should have:
1. doors visibly ajar,
2. hood fully open (Do not prop your hood open with springs, wooden sticks, etc. Judges will not attempt to peek into partially open engine bays.)
3. trunk visibly ajar,

Although not required, you may choose to stay with your vehicle to demonstrate hidden equipment, in-car entertainment systems, etc. If judges are unable to access your vehicle you will NOT receive points for any items the judges are unable to examine clearly.

If you have any questions or need additional information about judging procedures please speak to a SCC representative beforehand. SCC representatives will be available throughout the day of the event at the registration booth. The representatives are there to help any competitors who have questions or concerns regarding the event. Competitors are encouraged to seek assistance when needed.

Team Competition
Competitors may enter the Team Competition by registering up to 4 members per team. Each team must have at least 2 members in the Drag Racing competition and 2 members in the Showoff competition. Each team member may enter the Drag Race, the Showoff, or both competitions.

Race officials will record the two best Showoff competition scores from each team and apply a conversion method to determine the team's Showoff score. The team's Drag Racing score will be combined with the team's Showoff score to determine the overall team score. The team with the highest overall team score at the end of the 2004 season is awarded the 2004 SCC Cup.

Only teams will be eligible to battle for the 2004 SCC Cup title. Individual competitors are not eligible to win the 2004 SCC Cup. The winning team will hold the title for one year and will be invited back to defend the title next year.

 
Dual Competition
SCC will allow Drag Racing and Soundoff competitors to compete in the Showoff at no additional cost. If your vehicle is entered in the Showoff, it is your responsibility to ensure that your vehicle has not missed judging while it was competing in the Drag Racing and/or Soundoff events. In other words, YOU must ensure that your vehicle has been judged before the Showoff judging deadline. If you need additional information about judging please speak to a SCC representative beforehand. They will be happy to help you out.
