OAA President
Presidents Invitation: Greetings fellow Auctioneers! It is
my pleasure to invite you to our 2012 Oregon Auctioneers
Association Annual Convention. I hope you will join us for
a weekend of networking, education and FUN! We have
several exceptional speakers joining us this weekend to
provide new insight in the auction industry and to guide us in
furthering our professional careers as auctioneers. As a
member of the association, I would encourage your
participation in our Board of Directors Meeting and voice
any concerns you may have about the direction of the
association. Are you a born leader and want to take our
association to the next level? If you are interested in joining
our BOD or would like to nominate a fellow auctioneer,
please fill out the included nomination form. We will have
ballots available at the convention and encourage all to vote
on who is to serve the OAA in the upcoming year.
Be sure to compete for our coveted Oregon Grand Champion
Auctioneer Competition, hosted by our past Champion, to be
considered one of Oregon's best in the industry.
Opening Night Social: Join your fellow OAA
Auctioneers in networking in the Shoreline Room starting at
8:30pm. Enjoy great conversation with old pals and meet
some new auctioneers who have joined us this past year!
Advertising Contest: As an Auctioneer, advertising and
marketing expertise are keys to the success of your business.
Advertising that creates auction awareness and promotes the
professionalism of your organization should be included in
this contest. Bring your materials and show of your
marketing prowess and see how others promote themselves
in various forms of advertising media. The winners of each
category will be announced at the annual banquet.
Oregon Grand Champion Auctioneer Contest:
The 24thannual competition, held to promote the skills that
talented auctioneers use to connect and communicate with
buyers, will be held in conjunction with our annual
convention. Contestants will be scored by five judges in
three categories including Presentation, Effective
Auctioneering and, of course, their Chant and Voice Quality.
All are encouraged to get up and showcase your skills.
Hall of Fame: Do you know someone in the auction
industry deserving of this honor? Then submit the
application included in this brochure via mail or email by
January 28, 2012 for consideration. If awarded, a
presentation will be made at the annual awards banquet.
Awards Banquet: What a great way to wrap up the first
full day of convention! Join friends and family for the
annual awards banquet and fun auction. This years banquet
will include no host beer & wine, a delicious buffet style
dinner and presentations of honors and awards followed by
the fun auction. This is your opportunity to share your gifts
behind the microphone and support the OAA financially.
The fun auction will be intertwined with the OGCA contest
and should showcase some of our states most talented
auctioneers. Not only is this event the associations major
fundraiser for the year, but a chance to break free from our
busy convention schedules to let loose and have some fun.
Again, this year, we ask that you bring 3 or more items to be
sold. Proceeds from this event will go to support activities
and programs of the OAA.
Board of Directors Meeting: The Board of Directors
will meet Monday February 20, at 12:30pm to discuss the
current business of the association, including financial
overviews and election results for the Board of Directors
positions.
Hotel Accommodations: The Hood River Inn's unique
Columbia River shoreline location is convenient to many
nearby attractions and recreational opportunities in the
Columbia River Gorge and Mt. Hood area. Rich with culture,
natural splendor and recreation, the area presents something
for everyone. Reserve your room prior to January 28,2012 to
receive the OAA Convention Room rate of $99 + tax per
night. This rate includes a limited hot breakfast in the
Riverside for up to two people per day.
Driving Directions: The BEST WESTERN PLUS Hood
River Inn's spectacular setting is also spectacularly easy to
get find. We are located just off 1-84 at exit 64 making us 64
miles from downtown Portland and just 55 miles from
Portland International Airport.
This is no bumper to bumper freeway drive. This section of
1-84 may be one of the most beautiful sections of highway in
the world, made all the more pleasant by the light to nonexistent traffic. After exiting at Exit 64 take a left at the
bottom of the ramp and take the first right (after the
westbound off ramp) into the Inn's entry drive.

QUAUFICATIONS, RULES AND PROCEDURES:
•
All Contestants, regardless of gender will compete in the same division. Winner will be referred to as "John/Jane Doe 2012 Oregon Grand
Champion Auctioneer".
All Contestants will draw for position at a mandatory meeting to be held prior to the contest. A roll call will be taken at this meeting and
any contestants not present will be disqualified without any refund of entry fees.
All Contestants must be at least 18 years of age, a member of the OAA, have paid the entry fee of $5 O. 00 and be a registered attendee of
the host convention.
Contestants will be judged by five judges, who will be pre-selected prior to the contest. Three Judges will be experienced auctioneers and
two judges will be professionals well acquainted in the auction industry and what constitutes a good auctioneer.
Judge selection will be the sole responsibility of the previous champion acting as host. If at any time a conflict of interest exists, the OAA
Board of Directors can replace a judge deemed to have a conflict.
All Contestants will be judged by the same score card with three categories. The category of Presentation will be worth 20 points: the
category ofChantIVoice will be worth 45 points: the category of Effective Auctioneering will be worth 35 points; awarding a maximum of
100 points per judge. The lowest score for each contestant will be eliminated, with the remaining four scores being averaged. In case ofa
tie score in the preliminaries, the category ofChantIVoice will be used as a tie breaker. The contestants with the top three scores in the
preliminaries will advance to the finals, where the scoring begins anew. The contestant with the top score in the Final Round will be
deemed the champion; the contestant with the second highest score will be awarded reserve. In the event of a tie in the finals, the
contestants' averaged score of the preliminary round will determine the tie breaker. If a tie persists, the 5th judges' score will be re-entered
into the equation to break the tie. The Judges scoring will be final.
Both preliminaries and finals will consist of each contestant selling three consecutive items that will be pre-selected so that contestants will

system prior to the contest beginning.

Board of Directors to ensure that the contest is a continued success. The contest host will announce each contestant in the same fashion.
