Whitni, you have a small zoo. Lol

[Sakura8]

Oh, by the way. If I'm not mistaken, Admin has okayed the contest. Proceed as planned. :)

[Whittni]

Dramaqueen: I know right? XD

Sakura8: You really mean it?! Woo!

[MrVampire181]

Alright lets do this :D Any particular standards we should go off of?

[Whittni]

General well being?

[MrVampire181]

Well I figured if it was a show betta contest it would be based upon some sort of show standards.

[dramaqueen]

Since it's goingto be pictures you might ask people to submit pics that are clear and show the betta 's finnage well.

Hmm, maybe we could set up the classes like this. This way we can divide up the judges into their own categories and that way there will be enough categories for people to appropriately place their bettas into

Just an idea, for SHOW Variety judges will be going by both form and color just like a real betta show (I would use Bettas4all standards because they have veiltail)

PET Variety will be for just general form (If it looks like it represents a crowntail, Delta etc. that's as far as judging needs to go for form), color and health.

For Variety's There are subsections for Male and Female

Form Variety's: SHOW

• Halfmoon
• Crowntail
• Halfmoon Plakat
• Veiltail
• Double Tail

PET

• Delta/Super Delta
• Halfmoon/Over Halfmoon
• Veiltail
• Halfmoon Plakat
• Plakat
• Crowntail
• Double Tail
• Rosetail

COLOR CLASSES (Form is not counted, only color)

• Red/Orange/Yellow
• Blues/Greens/Turquoise
• Black/Black Orchid
• Multicolor/Marble/Butterfly/Bi-color
• White/Pastel/Grizzle/Opaque
• Metallic's/Copper/Dragonscale

SPECIAL CLASSES
* FRY PHOTOS (MUST BE UNDER 2 1/2 MONTHS OF AGE)
* ART
* WILD SPECIES
* BUBBLENEST

At the end

• BEST OF SHOW (MALE & FEMALE ARE SEPERATE)
• BEST OF VARIETY'S (SHOW AND PET ARE SEPERATE)
• BEST OF COLOR
• BEST OF SPECIAL CLASSES

I don't know if this sounds like a lot of classes or what, but we have a lot of judges and with this many classes judges will be able to enter their own into categories they are not judging and members will be able to place their betta's into many categories. This will also allow for multiple entries for people to put their bettas into!

Let me know if this sounds good.

[Whittni]

Yeah, great idea! Maybe even add bubble nest?

[Sincerely]

That's a good one!
