Judging at the AKA convention



Hi folks,

I was reading over the most recent JAKA the other day (which BTW I thought
was an excellent issue) and I started to look over the judging scores of
fish from from the 1997 convention.  What I do not understand is how the
best of show fish (A. fugens) can score an 89.5 while several winners of
other classes had higher scores -- including a pair of T. dolichopterus
that scored a 95.  Are the criteria for deciding BOS different from that of
rating each class?  No flames of the AKA are intended here.  I'm just
curious as to how the system works.  I always assumed that the BOS was the
highest rated fish, but apparently that is not neccessarily true.

Thanks in advance for enlightening me.

Regards (and happy holiday)
