I'm sure that I have heard it over the years just can't remember it right now. I beleive it is somthing like; weight+beardx2+spursx10=score. Is this right or not look on the frow website an can't see any thing there for turkeys as of yet.

Here you go, Matt.

This is how we measure/score them for FROW. FROW does not include the bird's weight in the scores.

All measures are taken in 1/16-inch increments and then converted to decimal form.

Measure each spur. Spurs must be measured along the outside center, from the point at which the spur protrudes from the scaled leg skin to the tip of the spur.

Add both spur measurements and multiply the combined length of the spurs by 10. This is the number of points awarded for the turkey's spurs.

Then measure the beard length (the beard must be measured from the center point of the protrusion of the skin to the tip) and then convert it to decimal form. (See below for conversion)

Then multiply the beard length by 2; this is the number of points awarded for the beard length. If you are measuring a non-typical bird (multiple beards), measure each beard and convert them to a decimal number, then add those figures together and multiply that by 2. This is the number of points awarded for the turkey's beards.

Add together the points for the spurs and points for the beard(s): This will be the final score awarded to the turkey.

To sum it up, [(left spur+right spur) x10] + [beard length x2]

1/16 = .0625
2/16 = .1250
3/16 = .1875
4/16 = .2500
5/16 = .3125
6/16 = .3750
7/16 = .4375
8/16 = .5000
9/16 = .5625
10/16 = .6250
11/16 = .6875
12/16 = .7500
13/16 = .8125
14/16 = .8750
15/16 = .9375

weight is used in the US. Bioligists have not been able to relate age to weight at all, so its not used in FROW measuring.
