On January 2, 2024, the ASA Board of Trustees passed a rule change pertaining to the 2024 AJSA National and Regional Classics and beyond. Beginning in 2024, animals with registrations pending DNA will not be allowed to enter the Classics. Every animal must have a valid registration number at the time of the AJSA Classics deadlines.This is a change from what was previously accepted, where animals could be entered with pseudo registration numbers (registration numbers in parentheses) if DNA work preventing registration was pending.
