The reason CFKS has these special awards is to feature different varieties within the kawarigoi class and to promote a little friendly competition among entrants. We do not have a separate doitsu class although at one time we did have one. So we still like to recognize the best doitsu in the show. We have some nice doitsu that come in lower in the competition against the scaled types so like to be able to give this award to a deserving doitsu.

The judging team you headed did a tremendous job under very chilly and windy conditions (about like Chicago, ha). We knew we'd break 200 entrants, but did not dream we would have 317. I know, a lot of them were small, but still....

Joe, windy? Seemed like a gentle Oklahoma breeze to me Chilly? What in the 60s when Illinois had snow? No complaints from me on the weather...I know you Floridians have softened.

No complaints from me at all on the special wards or the processes...I was just using CFKS as an example of how and why Best in Class is really different from Best in Variety. Great koi, great people, great show, great venue. What more can one ask for?
