Bob,

The date and venue have been make public, but the rules for entry, benching and showing have not. I'll keep you posted as soon as I get more information. I'd assume that with the KHV debacle of the past year that the show would indeed be English style. The Niigata folks will no doubt be pressed for resources, but between North and South lies the "middle" from Gunma, Nagano, Tokyo, Chiba, Kanagawa, Yamanashi, Shizuoka, Nagoya, etc. which is filled with both breeders and dealers that can pitch in to pick up the slack if needed.
