Judges fill out cards for each pigeon. The cards have a number on them but no exhibitor name. Judges write in three areas on the card. The first area is filled with notes about what the judge likes about the bird. The second area of notes are what the judge wishes to see on the bird. Usually minor aspects of the bird. The third area of notes are faults which reduce the grading of the bird. A bird which receives a grade of "v 97" may have some wishes but no faults.
