Instructions

1. Measurements
   1. Length of antler. This is mesured along the outside edge of the base of the coronet to the end of the longesttine in the crown. The tape will passover the shoulder that exist between the coronet and the main beam and not pressed into the groove
   2. Length of the brow tine. This is mesured along the underside of the tine from the upper edge of the coronet to the extremity of the tine.
   3. Length of tray tine. This is measured along the underside of the tine, from the place where it starts to emerge from the main beam to the extremity of the tine.
   4. Circumference of coronet.
   5. Circumference of the upper and lower beam: Measured at the thinnest place between brow and tray tines, and between the tray tine and crown tines respectively.
   6. Circumference of the upper and lower beam: Measured at the thinnest place between brow and tray tines, and between the tray tine and crown tines respectively.
   7. Weight (dry) of antlers. This is taken to the nearest 10 grammes and should be taken at least three months after the animal has been killed. Depending on the size of the skull and the manner in which the skull has been cut, 0,5 to 0,7 kilograms can be deducted from the gross weight.
   
   
   8. Inside span:

      Less than 60% of the average length of beam 0 point
      From 60 to 69,9% of average length of beam 1 point
      From 70 to 79,9% of average length of beam 2 points
      80% and over of average length of beam 3 points

   9. Number of tines: In order to count, a tine must measure at least 2 cms in length.
      
2. Beauty and Penaltu points
   1. Beauty Points. Awarding Points of Beauty
      1. Colour:

         Light grey, yellowish, artificially coloured: 0 point
         Grey to light brown: 1 points
         Dark brown to black: 2 points

      2. Pearling:

         Smooth: 0 point
         Average: 1 points
         Good: 2 points

      3. Tine ends:

         Blunt of porous:0 point
         Pointed, but with brown coloured tips: 1 points
         Pointed, with white tips: 2 points

      4. BayTines:

         Descripcion	Points
         	One side	Both sides
         Short, 2-10 cm	0.0	0.5
         Medium length 10,1-15 cm	0.5	1.0
         Long more than 15 cm	1.0	2.0

      5. Crown tines:All the tines situated above the tray tines will be considered part of the crown. The tines of the crown are defined as follows:

         Short 2-10 cm
         Medium length 10,1-15 cm
         Long more than 15 cm

      
      

      Number of tines that make up the two crowns:

      5-7 Short tines ---- 1-2 point
      5-7 Medium length tines ---- 3-4 points
      5-7 Long tines ---- 4-5 points
      8-9 short tines ---- 4-5 points
      8-9 Medium length tines ---- 5-6 points
      8-9 Long tines ---- 6-7 points
      10 and greater,short tines ---- 6-7 points
      10 and greater,medium length tines ---- 7-8 points
      10 and greater,long tines ---- 9-10 points

   2. Penalty Points : Defects that warrant a deduction of points include irregular attachment of antlers to pedicles, pronounced lack of symmetry in the length of the beams (antlers) and any irregularity in the brow, bay or tray tines. Penalty points, however, will not apply to those irregularities which have already been taken into account with the measurement of individual tines, etc.
