Re: SHOW: Tough judges
Steve;
I do agree with many of your points but the one of mine of "judgeing
what is on the table or at the show" is critical. I don't care what system
you use to judge but to eliminate awards because of a system depicting a
perfect iris is expected is wrong. That iris might not be grown in any
given year, and you should not juge growth in Florida against Oregon,
tc.( different areas different conditions ) I believe the organizations
that recognize not everyone is a "Professional" have more popular support.
I believe the larger the number of participants the greater the need for the
perfect iris and judging, but not until the competition is there! I
believe one of the main purposes for the AIS is for the envolvement of all
iris lovers. The awards should not be cut down because of the quality of
the iris but posibly reduced due to lack of contestants.
