REGISTRATION AND IDENTIFICATION
The entry
fee may be paid with the reservation or may be paid when the fish are brought
to registration. We will be taking digital photos of your fish, so there is no
need to bring photographs with you.Here's
the Vat Reservation form, which is due by Monday, July 6.
POINT
SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING VAT REQUIREMENTS
Please
use the following system as a guide to determine how many fish can be placed in
each vat:
1.
Multiply the size (1 thru 7) of your fish by the number of fish you are showing
in that size. Size 1 - up to 8 inches Size 2 - 8 to 12 inches
Size 3 - 12 to 16 inches Size 4 - 16 to 20 inches Size 5 - 20 to 23 inches
Size 6 - 23 to 26 inches Size 7 - over 26 inches
2.
Do this calculation for all your koi. For example if you bring one
size 5 = 5 pts., and two size 4 = 8 pts., and three size 3 = 9 pts. These six
fish would total 5 + 8 + 9 = 22 points.
3. The show guidelines for tank
capacity are 25 points for a six-foot vat and 40 points
for an eight-foot vat.
For
the safety and health of your fish, DO NOT FEED THEM FOR 5 DAYS PRIOR TO THE SHOW.
Fish with undigested food require more oxygen, excrete contaminants into the water,
and are more easily stressed. Only members of the fish handling committee will
handle fish during the show. Anyone wishing to inspect their fish must receive
permission from the show Chairperson. All exhibitors are expected to provide one
bowl and one net for each vat reserved. A limited number of bowls and nets are
available on a first-come basis.
