Hi Mike,
Koi show group koi by type and lenght. Age is impossible to verify so not used to group koi at a show for judging.
You probuly know that the best koi in each size slot is selected as best in that size.
Typically the best in size 1 and the best in size two are judged for the best of these two koi and awarded baby champion.
Best in size 3 & 4 = Young Champion
Best in size 5 & 6 = Adult Champion
Best in size 7 & 8 = Mature Champion
THis actually depend on is a show has 8 sizes. In large shows in Japan with up to 16 sizes 3-4 sizes would comprise a group and the best koi in that group would be named baby, or Young Champion, etc.
