Re: Re: SPEC-X

 

I can shed some light. The SPEC-X awards were created 20 years ago but It takes 10years for something to reach the Medal level. Paul originally registered Dolce as a SPEC-X and it was partly because I encouraged him to do so. I wanted the class to cover all species not just beardless and Paul's innovation was something new that did not fit into the TB class comfortably. So blame me not Paul. He recently requested that the board of AIS reconsider the definition of the SPEC-X clas because he has recieved so much negative feedback fro SIGNA. I am ashamed that SIGNA would be as narrow minded about something like this very much like the Tall-bearded Iris Society that broke away from AIS because the AIS was not emphasing TBs enough. It is sad that each subdroup has to feel a need to denigrate the other classes instead of trying to raise all the ships in the bay. Everyone can enjoy their favorite group but they do not need to be mean to the others.

OK, then we can safely say Mr. Black didn't consider Dolce a species-X.  How was it nominated then?  I thought the hybridizer had to put forth their cultivars and then the judges decided further.  Seems I am wrong, here, though. 

Just another tid-bit to the whole sordid story, he, he!

While we wait for Bob's answer re the year, I just dug out my old judges handbook, a 1998 version.  SPEC-X is referenced there.
