[AGA-Contest] Re: [AGA-mcm] AGA2K4 Feedback Summary (fwd)

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

bouncing this one to a more appropriate list, for discussion either now or 
later.  Another request for judging based on style of aquascape.

Note that in the past week I've now heard requests for judging based on 
style, based on ability, and based on whether one is a pro or an amateur.

My personal take is not to pigeonhole by style, and that the size 
categories do a pretty good job of relegating the pros to the extra-large 
category, but that's just me.

...

There is one major problem IMO, with how we're judging scapes.
There are three distinct styles....

Nature Aquarium - that in itself has several sub-styles that have critera
that they're judged on.

Dutch - (strict includes no wood or rock as part of the scape itself)

American (Almost Dutch, without the rock/wood restrictions and less
stronger plant groupings)

To judge all three styles fairly using one criteria is probably
difficult, if not
impossible.
