1. The width of the caudal fin is 4/10 of the body length. The beginning of the caudal fin is rounded off. The minimum length is 6/10 of the body length. The edges are parallel to each other and form a rectangle shape.
2. The dorsal fin is pointed and reaches up to the end of the first third of the caudal fin.
Body – evaluation of the length
| 26mm |
8 points. |
| 24mm |
6 points |
| 22mm |
3 points. |
| 20mm |
1 point. |
| Less than 20mm |
0 points and disqualification. |
| Larger than 26mm |
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
| 8/10 of the body length |
10 points. |
| 7/10 of the body length |
6 points. |
| 6/10 of the body length |
2 points |
| Less than 6/10 of the body length |
no point. |
| More than 8/10 of the body length |
deduct up to 3 points. |
Examples of point deductions with formal defects
| Rear edge concave or convex |
deduct up to 2 points. |
| Rear edges diagonal |
deduct up to 4 points. |
| Rear edges with strong serrations or defect |
deduct up to 5 points. |
| Upper and lower edges not parallel |
deduct up to 10 points |
| Upper and lower edges serrations or defects |
deduct up to 2 points. |
| Corners from top and bottom edges to rear edge too rounded off |
deduct up to 2 points. |
Dorsal fin - evaluation of 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 upon 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. |
| Strong 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 are only allowed to take place once. |
