Possible should have a darkness class , since its more popular to fly this system ,move with the times

 

I would have increased the number of nest flights required from 2 to 4, think that should be the case at all shows. Jmo

I'd hope that who ever was asked to judge could tell what's a darkness yb compared to a late bred

Some are like that Walter but as I said, top judges would overlook this nowadays imo. A show is only as good as the calibre of judge it has . I know its only a bit of fun in the winter months but its still nice to get a card or 2 as well.

A lot of judges cant even tell the diffrence between a dipped doo and a racer so no chance of them telling between a latebred and a darkness

If I was judging a show and came across say 4 top pigeons ,you have to pick your 1.2.3.4 , so if say 2 are right through moult and 2 aren't , then it's common sence to mark them down for be it flights half way up . A racing fret , an odd louse . But if one pigeon stood out and even if it had 2 or 3 to go ,then I wouldn't hesitate to give it first.

thats my thinking to stewart the best handler is the best handler imo m8

Very true Malcolm, often happens when a fancier has had a good year on the road so the Show Organisers Assume they know everything about doos and invite them to judge. Must say though that it doesn't bother me in the slightest if a dipped do wins their class as it is just a day out for me during a long boring winter and the doos, despite being dipped, are often the best looking in the class anyway as the fancier takes great care of how he presents his birds in the show.

Its usually the "Likeliest" classes have the largest entry of dipped doos, likeliest to do what is another matter though lol
