Serama Council of North America Show in Lawerenceburg, TN 2013
This is one of the very first shows the SCNA used separate high top tables and practiced "NO TOUCH" judging. As you can see, there were no fly-aways or other things feared in the past doing it this way.
When you start seeing other groups or serama shows doing this, remember that it was the SCNA that paved the road and tried it first here in the US. I think we proved it could successfully be done. I believe its a combination of the high tables and space between handlers, birds, judges that allow this all to work so smoothly. I hate to toot my own horn, but the high-top tables was my idea back in 2011. :) Not bad for a small show. It takes some warming up for us Americans to hoop and yell like the Asians can, but we're trying. :)
