Judging Sheet Abbreviations

[Brian D.]

I'm compiling a list of common abbreviations that might show up on judging sheets,
usually in the notes for explaining a deduction.
Some of the ones I already have are:

TFP = Typical Factory Production
NTFP = NOT Typical Factory Production
S/B = Should Be (ex: bolts s/b black oxide)
D/S = Driver Side
P/S = Passenger Side
STD DED = Standard Deduction xx%

Are there others which any of you use or have seen?
Thanks!

I use RAW (Rust, age, wear) for condition. And sometimes SNB (should not be).

I print these out on Avery label sheets. Usually only used when a car is going to have significant narratives. I have seen POD for "Paint Over Dirt" used, but very infrequently. Updated post with current Avery Label (Avery 18660 size)

This gets thrown around every so often - and, I caution like I have in the past - you still owe the owner an explanation as just telling them NTP doesn't mean CHIT! Why isn't it TYPICAL!? RANT OFF

Rick,

Agree. Abbreviations only to save writing space. e.g. "NTP F is chrome, SB natural. Page xy"

Yes, but those of us who have wives who are tabulators, know how strict they can be at examining the sheets for full explanations........and returning them to the judging floor to be done right.

I like those stickers, both as a space saver and a reminder to the owner after sheets are returned.
Owners absorb a lot of info on "judgment day", and it's nice to have a prompter when the sheets come back.
Of course, more detail is also needed; I doubt that Dave only writes an abbreviation and leaves out specifics.

Brian,

Dave does write specifics - including page number.

If Dave has time to note page numbers, Dave must not have very many cars to judge in a day.
Unless Dave has his specific section of his TIM&JG already memorized. If he does, tip of my hat to him....
