1. The upper and lower edge curves run in such a way that the largest width of the fin is reached with 3/4 of its length.
2. The rear edge of the caudal fin is concave and the length of the caudal amounts to 8/10 of the body length. It is not to fall below 5/10 of the body length.
3. The dorsal fin reaches up to the end of the first third of the caudal fin with a rounded off end.
Body – judging 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 |
| 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 deductions with formal defects
| Fin height larger than 3/4 of the fin length |
deduct up to 5 points. |
| Fin height smaller than 3/4 of the fin length |
deduct up to 8 points. |
| Rear edge not concave |
deduct up to 10 points. |
| Rear edge strong serrations or defects |
deduct up to 5 points. |
| Upper and lower edges not conve |
deduct up to 10 points. |
| Corners of upper and lower edges to rear edge too rounded off |
deduct up to 4 points. |
| Upper and lower edges strong serrations or defects |
deduct up to 4 points. |
The total amount of points deducted 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. |
| Strong serrations or defects |
deduct up to 2 points. |
| Deviation from the ideal form |
deduct up to 7 points. |
The total of the points deducted may not exceed 8.
Deductions for the same criteria can only take place once. |
