1. The caudal fin in its form a miners shovel, the upper and lower edges stand out from the body and are parallel. The length of the caudal is 5/10 of the body length, the depth reaches 8/10 of the caudal 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
| 8/10 of the body length |
10 points. |
| 7/10 of the body length |
8 points. |
| 6/10 of the body length |
5 points |
| 5/10 of the body length |
2 points. |
| Less than 5/10 of the body length |
no points. |
| More than 8/10 of the body length |
deduct up to 3 points. |
Examples of point departures with formal defects
| Caudal depth less than 6/10 of caudal length |
deduct up to 5 points |
| Rear edges unequal concave |
deduct up to 3 points. |
| Rear edges not concave enough |
deduct up to 5 points. |
| Caudal point not in middle |
deduct up to 3 points. |
| Caudal point not extended enough |
deduct up to 5 points. |
| Upper and lower edges not vaulted enough |
deduct up to 5 points. |
| Other defects like serrations |
deduct up to 5 points. |
The total number of deducted points must not exceed 20.
Dorsal fin - evaluation of the length
| Up to the start of the first third of caudal fin |
5 points. |
| Up to the beginning of the caudal fin |
3 points |
| Under it, depending on length |
deduct up to 3 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 |
| Dorsal does not curve upwards at point |
deduct 1 point. |
| 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. |
