BAP is great for me. I am just the opposite. I get bored with fish too quickly and need to move them out for new ones. Although I almost never buy adult fish. I prefer to grow up fry.

Hey Andy -

Why are the results from 2009 instead of 2010? Does a year of the competition span the calendar year or some other period? I know we've done some pretty hearty breeding here in CCA....
 
The results were the results of BAP points earned in 2009. Each club needed to send the results to the ACA club liaison by the end of February 2010 (it wasn't me). The Club liaison was then to tabulate the results, prepare the certificates, and post them. Unfortunately that didn't happen until I became club Liaison this month and got it done (actually Ted Judy had it all tabulated I just needed to print everything and post it).

The 2010 contest results will be much more timely. CCA didn't participate in 2009. Are you guys going to participate in 2010? If so have your BAP chair PM me their email address and I will send them the information packet.

Sarah Roberts (longstockings) is the BAP chair, but I'd be willing to help fill out the paperwork. I'm one of the BAP committee members. I'll talk to her.

Thanks Andy.
