Fair Data/Premiums
Fair data is the information used to categorize exhibitor items. Methods, premium tables, departments, division, and classes are used for exhibits. A class code begins with an alpha character (representing the department) and is followed by six numbers. The first three numbers represent the division and the second three numbers represent the class.
