manager shall forfeit entry fee and prize opportunity.

 

 

TRAINING/JUDGING

  1. Training will begin upon arrival of the birds, they will start out being flown in kits of 12 birds

or more so as to help make identification of the birds easier for the loft manager and or

judges. Birds will be flown daily, weather permitting and the availability of the Loft Manager.

  1. The birds will be scored for 20 minutes unless there is something that is hindering

this such as they skied out or the wind blew them out of sight. Under these circumstances,

we will wait until the birds return to the site to score them within a reasonable time frame (5

minutes) which is under the discretion of the judges.

  1. Birds must be kitting to be scored. Non-kitting birds shall not receive a score for any

.performance until returning to the kit

  1. The judge(s) will have no knowledge of where the birds came from (breeder) until after

the conclusion of the final judged fly. If possible please band with nonpersonalized bands

but it is not mandatory.

  1. The birds will be scored with a panel of judges whenever possible. The panel will consist of

the loft manager and commuting distance NBRC members. Any NBRC member may

participate as a  panel member, by arrangement through the loft manager. The panel will

not confer with each other while judging. All judging will be updated as it happens on

nbrc.us, and on NBRC social media sites.  Birds will be judged 3 – 4 times.

  1. Judging will be based on quality spinning, depth, and frequency. The intent is to select the

most outstanding individual.

  1. The scoring will be as follows; 15 foot spin = 1 point, 20 foot spin = 2 point, 25 feet = 3

points, 30 feet = 4 points, 35 feet = 5 points, 40 feet = 10 points, 50 feet = 15 points and 60+

is 20 points PER ROLL. Depth range scored is the sole discretion of the judge in question

that is scoring the birds and their opinion is final. Should there be multiple judges then an

average will be given with birds that are scored. So should a judge not record a bird making a

roll but the other records it with several rolls the scores will be averaged between a 0 given by

one judge and whatever the other judge scored. A bonus multiplier can be awarded

(multiplier of 2 max.) to specific birds that display above-average quality, again left up to

the specific judge(s) opinion of this.

  1. Harassment of any of the judges will be an automatic disqualification!
  2. Any entry that dies, becomes lost, or is culled during the event will be announced ASAP and

not eligible for any awards or prizes.

  1. Any bird that is not available for the auction will not be eligible for prize money and its score

will be eliminated.

  1. Any bird not flying 15 minutes shall have its score deducted by 50% for that judgment day

with no bonus multiplier.
