Judges & Judging

Judges Training
Insight to BS Judges Training
By Trevor Terheege, Judges Training Scheme Co-ordinator.
As BS Judges Training Scheme Co-ordinator, I thought it would be of interest for members to see the format that trainee judges go through. The training takes place over two show seasons. Each candidate is required to attend/judge three shows each year. Once a candidate applies to join the judges training scheme and has been accepted by the General Council, I send them a welcoming letter and ask them to nominate five shows in the coming year, which they would like to attend as part of the scheme and to also let me know how tall they are. The later may seem a strange thing to ask, but when I allocate them a main panel judge to work with, it is necessary for them to be of similar height. It would create a problem if you had one tall and one short person as the height of the judging stand will be set for the main judge.
Before the start of a show season the BS Patronage Secretary sends me a list of all the shows for the year and the judges for each show. From that list I select three shows for each candidate from the five shows they have nominated and the judges undertaking their assessment. I then send follow-up letters to each candidate, main panel judge and show secretaries giving them the details. My main aim, if possible, is not to have more than one subsidiary judge at each show.
At The Assessment Show
Each subsidiary judge will be expected to judge a minimum of six classes so that an assessment can be made by the main panel judge. The subsidiary judge will also be required to remain with the main panel judge who will instruct on matters of procedure, colour identification etc. as the judging proceeds and on completion of judging. A subsidiary judge is required to pay their own expenses when attending a show for assessment and may not exhibit budgerigars at the event.
Subsidiary Judges Assessment Form
Once a subsidiary judge completes their six assessments, they are required to write to the BS office and request to sit the final tests. These take place at the BS Club Show on the Saturday morning of the show. The results from the six assessments are scored and these form part of the final test results.
The final tests consist of a written test, an oral test, colour identification, judging a section and judging a colour run-down. A candidate must achieve a minimum pass mark of 70% in all tests to pass. The Subsidiary Judge with the highest overall score will be named Trainee Judge of the Year and will receive the Trophy at the trophy presentations on the Sunday afternoon of the Club Show. In addition, the winner will be invited to judge the Club Show three years later.
All subsidiary judges that pass will be presented with a judge’s badge and certificate at a lunch on the Saturday.
Unfortunately, there are occasions when not all candidates pass. In this event they will be invited to sit the tests again the following year and if they wish, have further assessments during the year.
Qualifications For The Subsidiary Panel
To qualify for the subsidiary panel of the Budgerigar Society a member must:
1. have completed a minimum of 9 years membership of the Budgerigar Society of which three continuous years must precede the application,
2. have completed three full show seasons at intermediate level and be over 21 years of age,
3. be a current breeder and exhibitor of budgerigars at BS Championship or higher level patronage shows.
Applicants should write to the Society Administrator by 31^st January to register. There is no fee.
The Tests
Oral Test – This test is on a one to one basis with one of the assessors. The time allowed is 15 minutes. The examiner will ask 20 questions in total, the assessor could produce a colour plate with three birds shown and you would be asked to name the variety and colour or any other question in relation to judging budgerigars or show rules.
Colour Identification – with this test you will have 10 birds of different varieties and colours on a judging stand and you will be given 15 minutes to write down the full colour and variety description of each bird using the full terminology.
Section Judging – during this test you will be allocated 15 minutes to judge a section of birds and complete the relevant show paperwork.
CC Run Down – once again 15 minutes is allocated for the subsidiary judge to complete the judging of a colour, place the colour spots on the cages and fill in all the BS paperwork and Challenge Certificate.
Written Test – One hour is allocated to this test. A written question paper will be handed out with a list of 40 questions.

AREA CHAMPIONSHIP AND GOLD CHAMPIONSHIP SHOWS
COLOUR LABEL CODE
RED Best of Colour Any Age
YELLOW Best of Colour Any Age Opposite Sex
BLUE Best of Colour Young Bird
GREEN Best of Colour Young Bird Opposite Sex

JUDGING ORDER
1. All classes will be judged and the winners placed in the appropriate colour line up under condition 2.
2. A judge will judge the best of his colour from first to last and will mark the cage labels accordingly and will note the best of colour (label to be marked B.O.C.) and the best opposite sex to the best of colour in both the Any Age and Young Bird colour classes. The appropriate coloured spots should be affixed to the four cages.
3. When all the best of colour judging has been completed, the five major awards of the B.S. should be selected in the following order:
(a) Best Any Age in Show
(b) Best Any Age Opposite Sex in Show
(c) Best Young Bird in Show
(d) Best Young Bird Opposite Sex in Show
(e) Best Budgerigar in Show.
The first four awards of the above should, in each case, be selected from a line-up of 25 birds (or fewer if some colour classes are void of entries). The selection of best in show should then be made from the winners of Best Any Age and Best Young Bird.
4. After the section specials have been judged. Certificates of merit should be awarded to the Best Novice Any Age and Young Bird, the Best Beginner Any Age and Young Bird and the Best Junior Any Age and Young Bird which have not won a Challenge Certificate at the show.
5. On any occasion where a best opposite sex in show is scheduled, it should be selected from the winners of best Any Age Opposite Sex and Best Young Bird Opposite Sex to the Best in Show.
6. Where B.S. Associated Specialist Society patronage is awarded (i.e. CBBA, VBC, etc) such awards should be taken from the colour rundown which should be judged from first to last.
7. Upon completion of judging it will be necessary to ensure that the proposed certificate winners are wearing an official ring purchased from the Budgerigar Society through the General Secretary. If a proposed certificate winner is not wearing such official ring or belongs to a person who is not a member of or who has not nominated B.S. then the next best eligible exhibit in that colour should be considered for the certificate. Once a bird has been given an award of Best in its Colour or a B.S. Challenge Certificate, it cannot thereafter be beaten by a bird of its colour for any other B.S. award.
8. Positions allocated within a colour line up can not be reversed when judging sections.

Best Practice – Duties of Subsidiary Judges
GUIDELINES FOR SUBSIDIARY JUDGES
You will soon be embarking on your Judges Training Scheme and the following Guidelines are here to help you in your preparation for your 9 assessments and eventually the final test.
It is best to have a Judging Folder to take with you to shows containing the following items:
1. BS. Colour Standards 2012 with the current and updated Guidelines
2. BS. 2019 Rule Book with the current updates.
3. Two or three judging sticks (remember the Bio-security Guidelines).
4. Pens of different colours (if you wish).
5. A small magnifying lens (for those rings which are difficult to read).
6. A notepad (to help you record information that you may need)
7. Other necessities as you feel needed (small piece of chalk for those rings where the colour infill has disappeared).
It is important to keep abreast of the Show Rules, Patronage Conditions, Judges’ Panel Conditions (in particular Judges Conditions A4, A5 & A6), Procedure for Judging Patronage Shows, New Guidelines, Standard Show Cage (Team Cage as well), Classifications and Definitions/Corrections/Types of Patronage and Best Practice. All these are to be found in the 2019 B.S. Rule Book between pages 10 and 21.
Guidelines – These are frequently updated, so please ensure that you are familiar with the new Guidelines as laid out on pages 75 – 83 of the Colour Standards 2012 booklet and any further changes. All these pages will form part of the test paper to be taken at the end of your three year assessment.
Directives – Please note that there are only 3 Directives for you to remember (See Colour Standards 2012, page 75):
Scaly face – birds showing any sign of scaly face must be removed from the show bench by the show management team.
Long Flight/Long Tail – birds showing these characteristics shall be disqualified (see new B.S. Guidelines).
Major Faults – birds displaying 2 Major Faults will not be able to win any major award other than a class win.
Colour Dots – It is best to stick the dots/spots in the centre of the cage label to keep uniformity and to avoid damage to cage paint when removed.
Challenge Certificates – Please acquaint yourself with all types of B.S. patronage shows and the value of Challenge Certificates, Certificates of Merit, BIS, Best Young Bird, Pair & Team certificates at each show and the qualifications for awarding the certificates. (Rule Book, page 11)
Cage Labels – Please acquaint yourself with the procedure of what you are allowed to write on the cage label and how to fill in the two boxes at the top right hand corner of the label.
- Ensure that the Colour & Section run down boxes on the cage label are filled. VERY IMPORTANT.
- A section judge is not permitted to alter the order of placing the birds of a particular colour.
(Rule 8, page 13)
- Please put a “dash” or a “cross” in the class position of the cage labels for birds from 8th onwards. This is done to indicate to exhibitors that you have looked at the exhibits.
Wrong Classing of Birds – On occasions birds will have to be wrong classed for a number of reasons. It is always advisable to consult with fellow judges before doing so. Please remember that you are allowed to write on the cage label the following:
- Class position
- BOC & Colour line up position
- Section Award & Section line up position
- W/C & Reason
- Disqualification/Removal from staging & Reason
See B.S. Guideline 28, page 78 of the Colour Standards 2012 booklet.
Pairs & Teams – As from the 2015 show season there will be classes for Pairs (cock and hen in one show cage) and there are CCs (nil point) for the Best Pair & Best Team. However, the same qualification for awarding a CC still applies for the Pair & Team CC as it does for a colour. (see Rule Book 2019, page 11, Patronage Condition 22(viii)(b)). This means that you need to have either 2 exhibitors (not partners) benching correct birds (2 Teams or 2 Pairs) or 7 entries from one exhibitor (4 pairs or 2 teams to make it over 7 birds). Also the Pairs & Teams need to be of one colour and variety and in the case of the Teams they can be either all of one sex or 50% of each sex. The points allocated for both Pairs & Teams are general colour & variety 50 and uniformity 50.
Major Awards – Section 30, page 78 of the Colour Standards 2012 booklet explains how major Awards are selected. This is based on at least 50% of the judges being in favour of a selected winning bird but not a simple majority. For example if you have 4 judges at a show with a vote 2:1:1 for a bird then that is 50% of the vote and that bird gets the award. However, if there are 5 judges and the vote is 2:1:1:1 then there is no winner here and a system needs to be devised by the show manager to select a winner.
Yellowface Varieties – There should be no confusion to where Yellowface/Goldenface varieties should be exhibited as each class is well described within the classification.
Yellowface/Goldenface Classes: Only the Normal, Opaline, Cinnamon, Opaline Cinnamon & Albino Yellowface/Goldenface to be exhibited in this class.
Rare Variety Classes: Only the Anthracite, Fallow, Rainbow, Saddleback & Slate (also in the Yellowface/Goldenface form).
Rainbow: Y/F or G/F Opaline Whitewing Blue Series Including Grey.
Any Other Colour: Only the Lacewing, Greywing, Yellow, White, A.O.V. Clearwing, Y/F Whitewing Blue Series, Any Non Standardised Variety & Half-Sider (also in the Yellowface/Goldenface form).
Best Opposite Sex – There seems to be some confusion on how to select the overall Best Opposite Sex in Show if there is such an award at a show. The selection needs to come from two birds only but not necessarily from the best with the yellow dot and green dot. The two birds that need to come forward for such an award are Best Any Age Opposite Sex to the BIS and Best Young Bird Opposite Sex to the BIS. So it is commonsense if, for example, the BIS was a hen then the overall Best Opposite Sex in Show must be a cock so an any age cock needs to be brought forward against a young bird cock for that award. (See Rule Book, P 13, No. 5 for Judging Order)
Classification – The classification has now been unified and came into operation in 2014 for all types of championship shows. This is with 50 classes in each section and 25 CCs. This should make the task that much easier to follow. Each variety is named in the classification so there should be no room for error in wrong class exhibits if fanciers read the classification carefully.
Rare Varieties – This is always an area that fanciers in general find difficult; how to recognise the rare varieties. The only way to overcome this problem is to visit as many specialist & rare variety shows as you can. There is now one S&RV show in most area societies. Also do your utmost to visit as many breeders of the specialist & rare varieties as possible and ask them to explain the features and differences of each variety. Study the pictures in the Colour Standards book: all of which will be of help to you in understanding the specialist & rare varieties. I urge you to acquaint yourselves with the rare varieties and study them at the shows. I stress that you should do your best to attend specialist and rare variety shows to assist you in that task.
Stewarding – Judging is all about having an eye for the bird and knowing judging procedure and both can be achieved at shows. Try to exhibit at as many shows as you can and always book yourself as a steward. Go a step further and have a chat with the show manager well before the show explaining that you are a Subsidiary Judge and that you will appreciate it if he/she can put you as a chief steward so that you can gain firsthand experience on judging procedure and dealing with all show/judges paper work. Be more proactive and ask judges to explain things to you after judging is completed.
Mentor – It is always best to befriend another fellow judge that you feel comfortable with and look up to him/her as your mentor to assist you with any queries or concerns that you may have during your period of assessments.
Dress Code – Always be smart/smart casual and wear the B.S. tie and badge with pride when possible. B.S. ties can be obtained from Jason at the B.S. Office.
Finally, when you have completed your nine assessments you must apply in writing to the BS Office well before the 1^st September if you wish to take the Final Test (Judges’ Panel Condition B.8.d., page 12). Good luck and enjoy your assessments this year.
