Children of members must be a member in their own name to take part in judging. Must possess or have possessed a valid driver's license. Must have the ability to be fair, honest, understanding and reasonable when evaluating a vehicle. However, these two attributes contribute towards a better understanding of judging in general. Basic knowledge of antique vehicles is required.
Every AACA member is invited to join the judging ranks.
As such, he will be instructed in judging principles and procedure, as well as participating in practice judging of vehicles. If a member cannot attend a school, or if a school will not be held, the Chief Judge should be contacted prior to the judges' breakfast and advised of the member's desire to become a judge. He will then be placed on the apprentice team at that meet. A National Judging School is held each year at the Annual Meeting in Philadelphia. In addition, schools may be held during the years that are not in conjunction with a National Meet.
