K Barrett No, I don't think we do. Of course I or anybody else is always happy to tell an exhibitor how to go about those things, but we don't have a piece of paper with instructions on it. If we do, I have never seen it, and I've had to do both of the above activities more than once for my own awards. Now, it could be possible that we have been lulled into complacency. 95% of the things that need identification in our center probably come from one of two people, and they are both judges. It is trivially easy to register a new hybrid, if you know who produced it, or at least it seems that way to all of us 'old hands'. So we may not always think about the exhibitor who is new to the process or at least new to getting something registered. Our center chair would of course follow through on any awards that were still outstanding, she is pretty good about that. I think it all boils down to experience. The judges have more experience than most growers, which is to be expected, and unless we actively think about what other people may _not_ know, it is hard to anticipate the questions ahead of time. So, for my own purposes, I've been reminded that not everybody knows how to register a new hybrid, and I'll make sure to ask and offer assistance. Best I can do... I will probably bring it up at our next business meeting, as well.
