Convention 2010 ..........finally judication w/o politics

We began the show day with the announcement that NO person with an entry in the breed could run rabbits:
no person entered in the breed could be behind the show table:
no person entered in the breed could carry a rabbit to the table.
As a person with an English (or other breed) angora entered you could remove the rabbit from the coop (due to the horrid coops and small doors) but they had to hand it over to a runner (from another breed who had the piece of paper).
The breeder, spectators, were standing back from the table, and only the persons behind the table attended to the rabbits on the table.
WHAT A HUGE difference from the last 3 years.............the judge did his job talking only minimally to the staff behind the table (not persons entered in the breed).
This judge was an experienced judge who knows how to manage a table and how to conduct himself in a manner that was beyond reproach.
Compared to several previous years this was a BLIND judging.............it should always be this way at Convention. Win Loose or Draw; is only possible when rules of protocol are followed.
Bragging rights are only RIGHT when animals are judged for what they are and not by who the owners are.
