Persian - Tabby Division:
- Total Members: 28 ~ Ballots Received: 18 ~ 60% for passing: 11
PROPOSED: Change the point allocation in the paragraph immediately preceding the
GENERAL description, as follows:
Current:
For cats in the tabby division, the 20 points for color are to be divided 10 for markings and
10 for color.
Proposed:
For cats in the tabby division, the 20 points for color are to be divided 15 for markings
and 5 for color.
RATIONALE: Increasing the points for markings will bring attention to the importance of
tabby markings for our tabby Persians. More and more often, the importance of the tabby
pattern is being minimized during judging. By decreasing the number of points awarded for
color and increasing the number of points for tabby markings we are sending a message to
our judges regarding the importance we want them to place on these markings. This is not
intended to place more emphasis on markings than head or body type, but to remind our
judges that tabby markings are a vital aspect of the tabby Persian.
Yes-8, No-10
