Well this is not the international rules for fish judging, but i thought it would be interesting to compare to the international standards.

We use 6 catergories to judge fish here in Australia using the BFAS (british) rules. These are size 20 points, condition and deportment 20 points, finnage 20 points, body 20 points, color 20 points. 2 judges are used and thier results are added together for a total out of 200.
