| ALLOCATION OF O.M.J. JUDGES FOR THE FORTHCOMING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS (NORTHERN HEMISPHERE) |
The new arrangements adopted for judging at World Championships (Northern Hemisphere)
decreased the number of judges required. In order to afford a more equitable
participation of O.M.J. judges from each member country, the O.M.J.-E.C. has
decided to establish the following allocation rule:
• Member countries having available O.M.J. judges
will be classified into two groups, A and B, and these groups will be revised
annually.
• To be included in group A, a member country must:
--
exhibit a significant number of birds;
--
have at least 20 (twenty) O.M.J. judges.
Each of these countries has the right of designating its own judges for a World
Show every year, upon specific request from the O.M.J.-E.C. Secretary.
• Countries that do not comply with the above two requirements will be
automatically included in group B, from which will be nominated a total of three
(3) judges each year: 1 from Portugal + 2 from amongst the other remaining countries
on rotation.
