Is the Koi Hobby a Non-Competative Diversion!?

I agree with the statement Steve Hopkins made on the thread "What make a good hobbiest a good hobbiest".

Where does that leave us with the Koi Show!!! I think Koi shows are very important and vital to the Koi hobby but it does tend to get a little competative.

I think Koi shows allow people to see Koi they would not normally see and it can be a venue to steer newbies into the right direction if they are truly into Koi and NOT Koi in a watergarden.

There will always be that upper level Koi fever that brings competition to those who have to win, but what about everyone else. Are there ways to bring more people into it? What can clubs do just to get people to help out with the production of a Koi show? What do you think?
