For anybody reading this that has undergone one of
these seminars/exams in real life the Panel’s reveal
can be annoying. Quite often they reveal something
that you missed. Just remember they had longer to
examine the Koi and could confer. Participants have
to experience a baptism by fire!
A Final Note

When designing this exercise I chose to include a
number of issues that are causes for consideration
during the judging process. I sought to include issues
from every facet of the judging, i.e. Body, Skin, Pattern
and Finish. Having done so, I randomly selected them
and distributed them amongst the exhibits. Dave
Brown had the task of illustrating them in the
graphics. Having done so, they were sent to the
judges to assess and compile the set of model
answers.

To wrap up this series of articles they are providing
explanations to some of their decisions in the spirit of
education.
For the purposes of judging they were told to consider
the length of the Koi to be 65cms.

If you would like to take part in judging the Koi,
please see the graphics of the 5 Koi on the
next two pages and make a note of your scores,
or click on this panel which will access the
judging paper as a pdf file, then print to
record your results.
