Homesite evaluation contests
are conducted in the same manner as land judging contests. Three
points will be awarded for each feature in Part 1; two points for each feature in Part 2. Ninety-seven
points represents a perfect score. The factors are similar to land judging with the exception of shrink-swell,
water-table, and flooding |
