1. The caudal fins basic form is round in shape and is equal to 4/10 of the body length, with the middle rays extend to form a needle/pin shape. The overall length of the fin corresponds to the body length.
2. The dorsal fin is slim, rises steeply in the beginning and reaches a point at the end of the first third of the caudal fin.
Evaluation of the body length
| 24mm |
8 points. |
| 22mm |
6 points. |
| 20mm |
3 points |
| 18mm |
1 point. |
| Less than 18mm |
0 points and disqualification. |
| Larger than 24mm |
deduct up to 3 points |
Examples of point deductions with the body form:
| Shapeless/dumpy |
deduct up to 5 points. |
| Caudal peduncle to broad |
deduct up to 2 points. |
| Body too flat (if it looks emancipated) |
deduct up to 4 points. |
| Round back |
deduct up to 2 points. |
| Strong bend |
deduct up to 5 points. . |
Abnormalities like humpback, hollow back, curvature of the vertebral column etc. lead to disqualification of the set.
The total number of points deducted must not exceed 8.
Caudal fin - evaluation of the length
| 10/10 of the body length |
10 points. |
| 8/10 of the body length |
8 points. |
| 6/10 of the body length |
4 points. |
| less than 6/10 of the body length |
no point. |
| More than 10/10 of the body length |
deduct up to 3 |
Examples of point deductions with formal defects
| Needle/pin extension not in line with the body axis |
deduct up to 5 points. |
| Curvature of the needle/pin |
deduct up to 3 |
| Point of needle/pin too broad or shapeless |
deduct up to 5 points. |
| Needle/pin not extending to a point |
deduct up to 3 points. |
| Other defects like serrations |
deduct up to 2 points. |
| Basic form longer than 4/10 of the body length |
deduct up to 3 points. |
| Transition from basic form to needle/pin not exact |
deduct up to 2 points. |
The total number of deducted points must not exceed 20.
Dorsal fin - evaluation of the length
| Up to the end of the first third of the caudal fin |
5 points |
| Up to the caudal fin beginning |
3 points. |
| Under it, depending on length |
1 to 2 points. |
| Dorsal fin reaches beyond the first third of the caudal fin |
deduct up to 3 points. |
Examples of point deductions with formal defects
| Not rising steeply at the beginning |
deduct up to 3 points. |
| Serrations or defects |
deduct up to 2 points. |
| Deviation from the ideal form |
deduct up to 7 points. |
The total number of points deducted may not exceed 8.
Deductions for the same criteria can take place only once.
