1. The caudal fin is a round shape with a diameter equal of 5/10 of the body length.
2. The dorsal fin is slim, rises steeply in the beginning and is rounded off at the start of the caudal.
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

| 3/10 of the body length |
4 points. |
| Less than 3/10 of the body length |
no points. |
| More than 5/10 of the body length |
deduct up to 3 points. |
Examples of point deductions with formal defects
| Caudal fin oval shaped |
deduct up to 5 points |
| Caudal fin edges has flat parts |
deduct up to 4 points |
| Other deviations from the round shape |
deduct up to 10 points |
| Other defects like serrations |
deduct up to 4 points. |
The total number of deducted points must not exceed 20.
Dorsal fin - evaluation of the length
| Up to the start of the caudal fin |
5 points. |
| Dorsal fin reaches beyond the start of the caudal fin |
deduct up to 4 points. |
| Under it, depending on length |
deduct up to 4 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
