[GSAS-Member] GSAS Home Show 2008 Update

["Matt Staroscik" <matt@wrongcrowd.com>]

Hello members,

If you indicated interest in the home show at the last meeting, thanks for
participating! The attached file summarizes the entrants so far. Please take
a look and make sure you are on the list if you should be--contact me at
matt@wrongcrowd.com with updates.

Ray, I don't have your email and I don't know if you are on this mailing
list--please let me know you got this, if you are.

You "maybe" folks, please let me know when you decide. :)

* Quick Recap of Rules
*
1. You tell us you have one or more tanks that you want to enter.*
2. We come take pictures in mid-May.
3. Tanks are scored with a point system.

*Appearance (20 pts max)*
Rate general appeal. Is it a good looking tank?

*Difficulty (10 pts max)*
Rate the challenge presented by the tank's stock.

*Originality (10 pts max)*
Does the tank stand out from the pack in some aspect of its design? Judges
can consider stocking, aquascaping, or even the gear that runs the tank.

* No plastic plants, please, the other clubs would laugh at us.

If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late... All you need is a tank
that you like the looks of, and we'll come shoot it for you! You can sign up
at our auction next Saturday, or just contact me in email.

*Schedule*

Last half of May: We come shoot you on a weekend or evening.
June Meeting: Awards

*Classes*

Based on the interest so far, I have decided to break up the competition
into these classes.

Small    Less than 20 gal (approx 4 entrants)
Medium    Less than 90 gal (approx 6 entrants)
Large    More than 90 gal (approx 3 entrants)

In addition, there will be an award for "Best in Show." If we have a good
turnout we may do a "Club Fave" award, with all of you voting.

*Photographers

*Currently, Paul, Steev, and myself will be shooting. Anyone else who
fancies themselves a photographer is more than welcome!

*Judges
*
Judges have not all been selected yet. If you are interested in being a
judge, let me know. You can participate over email if you like.

*Prizes
*
The prize package is mysterious and wonderful.

That is all for now. Contact me in email or at the auction with any
questions.


- Matt S.
