JSC proposals to Show Rules
Proposal No. 18
Add new paragraph:
1.10 The Organiser’s Responsibility
The organisers must:
a. - choose recognised judges (see art. 6.1)
- The clubs must invite the judges to their shows in writing.
Motivation:
There is nowhere in the Show rules mentioned that judges must be invited, but from the FIFe Rules for judges, art. 2.9.1, comes
the obligation for judges to reply to clubs invitations within one month. The show organisers must be aware that only valid and
obligatory invitation for a judge to the show is a written invitation.
Proposal No. 19
Add new article:
6.12 Number of cats to be judged
Under normal circumstances a judge should not be given more than the following number of cats to judge:
a maximum of 80 cats during an international two-day show,
a maximum of 40 cats during an international one-day show.
An instructing or examining judge should not be given more than the following number of cats to judge:
a maximum of 60 cats during an international two-day show,
a maximum of 30 cats during an international one-day show.
A judge may, by prior agreement with the show organiser, accept to be given the following number of cats
to judge:
a maximum of 100 cats during an international two-day show,
a maximum of 50 cats during an international one-day show.
This does not apply to instructing or examining judges.
If a show organiser requests a judge to judge more than 80/40 cats at an international two/one day show, an
increase in judges allowance of 50% will apply.
Motivation:
If a show organiser receives more show entries than expected, it may be most cost effective to allocate some of the invited
judges, with their agreement, more cats rather than inviting a new judge. However the show organiser must be prepared to
compensate the judges for this extra work.
This article should be placed in the Show Rules as well as in the Judges Rules to provide show organisers with the correct
numbers of cats which can be allocated to officiating judges.
