Measurement form

The Caribou formula of the Boone and Crockett Club should be used for the Reindeer of Europe and Asia. In order to convert into inches any measurement that has been taken in cm. the figure will be multiplied by the factor 0,394. To convert into centimetres any measurement that has been taken in inches, multiply by 2,54.

*Note
In Norway it is the practise to multiply the number of tines on each antler, including those on the brow tine, by 2,5.

Supplementary Data

A. Tip to tip spread measured between tips of main beams.

B. Greatest spread measured between perpendiculars at right angles to the centre line of the skull at widest part whether across main beams or tines.

1. Score Data
   1. Inside span of main beams measured at right angles to the centre line of the skull at widest point between main beams. Enter this measurement again in “Span Credit” column if it is less than or equal to the length of longer antler.
   2. Number of tines (points) on each antler: To be counted a tine, a projection must be at least one-half inch (1,27 cm) long and this length must exceed the breadth of the tines’s base. The breadth need not be computed from the deepest adjacent dips in the palmation. The length may be measured to any location – at least one-half inch (1,27 cm) from the tip – at which the length of the tine exceeds its breadth. Beam tip is counted as a tine but not measured as a tine.
   3. Length of main beam measured from lowest outside edge of burr (coronet) over outer curve to the most distant point of what is, or appears to be, the main beam. The point of beginning is that point on the burr where the centre line along the outer curve of the beam intersects the burr.
   4. Length of tines (points): They are measured from nearest edge of beam on the shortest line over outer curve to tip. To determine nearest edge (top edge) of beam, lay the tape along the outer curve of the beam so that the top edge of the tape coincides with the top edge of the beam on both sides of the tine. Draw line along top edge of tape. This line will be base line from which tine is measured.
   5. Length of tines (points): They are measured from nearest edge of beam on the shortest line over outer curve to tip. To determine nearest edge (top edge) of beam, lay the tape along the outer curve of the beam so that the top edge of the tape coincides with the top edge of the beam on both sides of the tine. Draw line along top edge of tape. This line will be base line from which tine is measured.
   6. Length of tines (points): They are measured from nearest edge of beam on the shortest line over outer curve to tip. To determine nearest edge (top edge) of beam, lay the tape along the outer curve of the beam so that the top edge of the tape coincides with the top edge of the beam on both sides of the tine. Draw line along top edge of tape. This line will be base line from which tine is measured.
   7. Length of upper tines: Measurements to be taken from the tine tip to the top of main beam, then at right angles to the lower edge of beam.
   8. Length of upper tines: Measurements to be taken from the tine tip to the top of main beam, then at right angles to the lower edge of beam.
   9. Width of brow measured in a straight line from top edge to lower edge.
   10. Width of top palm measured from rear edge of main beam to the dip between tines at widest part of palm. La largeur entre pointes à l’endroit le plus large.
   11. Circumferences: If rear tine is missing, take 1.12. and 1.13. measurements at smallest place between bay and first top tine.
   12. Circumferences: If rear tine is missing, take 1.12. and 1.13. measurements at smallest place between bay and first top tine.
   13. Circumferences: If rear tine is missing, take 1.12. and 1.13. measurements at smallest place between bay and first top tine.
   14. Circumferences: If rear tine is missing, take 1.12. and 1.13. measurements at smallest place between bay and first top tine.
