Mene pa zanima nekaj okrog stevardov, ki razstavljajo mačke. Če prav razumem, so to nekaj podobnega, kakor pasji handlerji? Obstaja za to kakšen poseben tečaj, ki ga je potrebno opravit, da si lahko stevard?
Stewardi so tisti fantje in dekleta, ki pomagajo sodnikom pri predstavljanju mačk, pripravljajo mize, kletke, držijo mačke, so vez med sodnikom in razstavljalcem.
V bistvu so res nekakšni handlerji ja
. dober steward lahko povprečno mačko prikaže kot vrhunsko, slab steward pa lahko tudi pri dobri mački naredi izredno klavrn vtis.
obstaja sicer nekaj temeljnih zahtev za stewardiranje, tole pravi FIFe:
4 Stewards
4.1Duties of a steward
The steward must assist the judge and observe the following:
- present himself in the judging ring wearing an overall;
- be able to remove a cat correctly to and from a cage;
- not leave the judge until judging is completed;
- take reasonable actions to avoid presenting his own cat except at a show where the exhibitors are allowed to present their own cat;
- not make comments or offer opinions about an exhibit;
- with the judge’s permission, to inform the exhibitors of judging results;
- inform the show secretariat if a cage is empty;
- be at least 16 years of age.
4.2 Allocation of steward to a judge
Stewards do not have the right to select a particular judge for whom to work.
4.3 Steward certificates
The judge should give the original stewarding certificate directly to the steward.
The stewarding certificate is to be issued in one of the three official FIFe languages, i.e. French, German or English.
The judge must mark on the steward certificate whether it was show where stewards are presenting the cats or a show where the owners are allowed to present the cats themselves.
The show organizer is required to provide the judges with the necessary papers before judging commences.
The show organiser is recommended to use the steward certificate issued by Judges & Standard Commission, which may be adjusted, if needed.------
Stewardiranja se je seveda možno priučiti in naučiti. Posebni tečaji sicer ne obstajajo, se pa običajno pred razstavo, če je dosti novincev naredi kratek tećaj oz. predstavitev dela stewardov.
Na sami razstavi se potem novince razporedi k stewardu z izkušnjami, tako da že na sami razstavi novinci lahko hitro skozi delu in razstavo ter ob pridnem opazovanju izkušenejših pridobijo veliko informacij.
