Speaking from years of first hand experience, it depends on the judge for 4-H. Some judges judge according to the SOP. Some judges judge based on the condition of the bird. Some 4-H judges are actual APA judges or apprentices that volunteer their time, most of the time they are just someone who shows poultry and is familiar with the process. Some judges for 4-H dont even give you anything even if you are the only one in your entire class if your bird doesnt fit the Standard. Some will give you everything just because your bird is in good condition, whether or not it is in accordance with the 4-H show rules(ie. two males or two females in a pairs only class, or cockerels in the pullet class) or fits the standard. Usually, it is a nice balance between meeting the standard most of the way and being in good condition. And every year it could be a different judge, so you never know what to expect.
Also, I dont see frizzles on the APA list of recognized breeds and varieties, so it may not even be showable in an APA sanctioned show, unless they have an "all others" class that includes frizzles. Although I have frizzles, I have never tried to show them, so I do not know if they have a special little class for them. I love frizzles, and yours is way more handsome than mine is! Beautiful bird!
