To me it seems that we shouldn't lump these two cvs. together in
these (judging) thread. BATIK might be in the wrong class
through registration (I have judged it as a BB and it seemed
always in class here in New England - we always see quite a few
BATIKS in our shows). On the other hand, CITY LIGHTS was grown
very tall by one person who entered a particular show, etc. The
AIS judges made the call.

We do penalize too-tall BBs (common in this class) but in my
short judging tenure, I have not come across a situation where a
TB was marked down as being too tall and we have some tall TBs
especially at the Maine shows.
