The KHA definition is a bit more limited than the 'show' definition. Eventually it comes down to the show committee, or ultimately the show chairman to decide who is in and who is out.
The Japan definition tends to be the rule for shows. Because the show is all about the fish, the rule is all about the fish.
The KHA definition is about $$ and liability. So that one is typically interpreted much wider.
Now here's a problem: backyard breeders with a big backyard. These guys, like Bekko, will tend to have show worthy parent stock and will also tend to sell fish. They may not make any profit from selling fish but they may make some $$. They may also bring their homegrown koi to smaller shows.
What do we do with them? I'm interested in the answer to that one because I may become one of 'them'. So far this isn't an issue because no 'amature' has bred anything that'll compete with the typical import koi. But maybe somebody could?
