    It is suggested that you reference and document all “Other” performance classes.

    JUDGES ETHCICS AND RULES:

    Any reputable person who is in good standing may apply for approval to judge of any of the shows. If a judge is not familiar with these breeds and activities, it is expected that he or she will have available printed or electronic reference material to familiarize him/herself with the groups’ breed standards and performance events. Judges are expected to be impartial, and to have a genuine interest in real and model cats and organized cat competitions. Judges must provide a phone number and email address to the club president.

    Time limits, scheduling, and show results: When volunteering to judge a show, please plan ahead and try to schedule a month when you will have plenty of time to complete your assignment. Avoid scheduling conflicts by limiting the number of shows you volunteer to judge during the month.

    Emergency Substitutions: If an emergency situation prevents you from judging your assigned show, notify the club president as soon as possible. A substitute judge, if available, will be assigned to fill in for you.

    Conflict of interest: Judges are presumed to be honest, competent and dedicated. Nevertheless, in order to avoid the appearance of impropriety, judges may not exhibit his/her own dogs at any show at which he/she is officiating, nor are they allowed to judge at any show where a member of his or her household or immediate family is exhibiting.

    Judging: You are responsible for your own interpretation of the breed standards and the performance rules in effect during your judging assignment. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask the club president. You may also discuss the rules with any other club’s president and/or other knowledgeable person.

    Always judge Cats solely on the basis of their appearance as they are presented in the photographs on show day. Give absolutely no consideration to what a cat's quality may have been if photographed from a different angle, or what a cat's condition might have been if it not been damaged by breakage or paint rubs.

    All classes are placed 1st – 4th. Judges may use their own discretion to designate Awards of Merit for cats of exceptional quality in any class or finals.

    Judge’s decisions are final. A judge's decision shall be final in all cases. Full discretionary power is given to the judge to withhold any, or all, placements for want of merit. After a class has once been judged in accordance with the rules and regulations, exhibitors may ask the judge questions, but the class shall not be rejudged nor the results changed. If any typographical or gender division errors have been made by the judge, these may be corrected by the president if possible.

    Judges’ critiques and comments: Critiques and comments are allowed but not required. Some exhibitors will appreciate critiques and comments, others will not. Positive comments and constructive criticism can be very helpful and are not prohibited, but judges are expected to be courteous and tactful when making comments, either privately or publicly, keeping in mind that a perfectly innocent comment or suggestion can be misconstrued, causing hard feelings and complaints. Judges should be prepared to answer questions regarding their placements and their comments / critiques.
