Yes Steve, clear as mud
Anyway, in a koi show, when it comes to gosanke, what I understand is that the judges will go for 1st body conformation, 2nd skin quality, then 3rd balance pattern. Assuming there are 2 fishes with same body conformation, the one with better skin quality will win even if it's pattern is less balance than the other one (pls correct me if I'm wrong here
)
Now, if it is a shusui and not gosanke, when 2 fishes has the same body conformation, and 1 fishes has excellent symmetry (zipper, head/body pattern, motoaka) but so so skin quality while the other one has excellent skin quality but less than perfect symmetry, which one is generally win? Bottom line, do koi show judge Shusui the same with Gosanke
?
thanks
