 [b]Iowa Aquaria Association's Custom BAP Rules[/b]

Iowa Aquaria Association Breeders Award Program Rules

I. Purpose

A. To encourage members of the club to breed fish and share knowledge concerning the spawning and rearing of fish.
B. To recognize the achievements of club members concerning the breeding of fish.
C. To promote an interest in and make available a wider variety of fish.
D. To make more members active participants in the club.

II. BAP Point Awards

A. Spawns may be registered from any class or combination of classes in the achievement of BAP awards at all levels.
B. Breeder who accumulates the most points in a given year will receive the entire BAP share of the auction proceeds up to 500 dollars in the form of a gift certificate to the store or online site of their choice.
C.In the case of the BAP share proceeds topping 500 dollars, the remainder will be awarded in a drawing. Each entry by a paid member grants them one ticket in said drawing. ex: JimBob entered 7 species, he gets 7 chances in the spillover drawing.

III. Rules and Program Definitions

A. Eligibility:

1. A fish may only be turned-in once per year for points by any one participant. Both species and subspecies of fish in a Genus that are recognized as naturally occurring are accepted and given full points.
2. The name of a fish, scientifically, is recognized as Genus-species-subspecies. A subspecies, as accepted by the BAP Committee, is a naturally occurring population different from another subspecies only in color or geographic location (found in different places). Subspecies recognized by the BAP program are those found in publications acceptable to the BAP Chairs. If the 'scientific community' later recognizes a fish (subspecies) to be a truly different species, or the taxonomic name(s) are changed, the BAP Committee will reclassify each animal appropriately.
3. All fish MUST be registered by scientific and common name. If you know that the scientific name has changed recently, please add all of the previous synonyms to the BAP Report that you know it used to be called by. This will be helpful when pointing your fish.
4. If changes in name, or point value assigned, result in a subspecies being elevated to full species status, and/or in increased point value, the burden of proof falls onto the participant. Written proof must be presented for the change. Word-of-mouth or consensus vote is not acceptable.
5. Eggs must be obtained from your own spawning and not purchased from an outside source, such as the A.K.A. (American Killifish Association).
B. Point Classification - The BAP Committee will be responsible for the point classification of each fish registered. If a point value of a fish changes, over time, only new registrations will be affected.
C. Awarding of Points:
1. To receive points for a fish, 6 fry, at least .75 inches in length, must be auctioned per the details under paragraph E. 'BAP Auctions' below. A BAP Committee member must verify the spawning of any marine fish for which a participant desires to receive recognition.
2. Each spawn must be registered by filling-out a BAP form that is signed by the participant and turned in to one of the BAP Chairpersons at the time of the Meeting . Exceptions to this rule will rarely be granted and must be approved by one of the BAP Chairs and at least one other BAP Committee member. Registration of spawned fish is from the BAP form only, so if a fish is allowed to be auctioned without a form being turned-in at the time of the BAP auction, no points will be posted and the record of the spawn will not be entered in the database.
3. Spawns that are made for the first time in the United States will be awarded an additional 25 points. The participant is responsible for providing proof to the BAP committee for this.
4. The participating members are responsible for obtaining, completing, and turning-in all forms required for participation.
D. Articles detailing the raising, care, and spawning experiences you have had are not required, but are encouraged and the BAP Chair(s), and/or other mentors of the club will assist you with this in any way they can.
E. BAP Auctions:
1. To receive points, 6 fish pure in species between the sizes of .75 inches and 2 inches must be entered, 25 point species require only 4.
2. Proceeds from the auction are divided in half. Half will be put into a seperate "BAP AWARD" fund, and the other half to the club to use as the BOD sees fit for betterment of the club and its events.
3. To encourage breeders of rare and/or valuable fish to participate in the BAP program, a limit for the clubs 'cut' of an auctioned item is set at $30.00. All bids above that amount will go to the breeders award program. The breeder may set a target price (if he so wishes) for the item to be auctioned. If a target price is set, it must be over $30.00. The breeder may participate in the bidding, but may not continue bidding above the target price he has set, unless willing to pay the winning bid. The Bap Chair will judge whether the target price is attainable, and then decide whether to actively try to reach the target price in bidding, or to start bidding at the target price. If the target price is not reached, the breeder may withdraw the item, or allow the fish to by auctioned without the target price. A $30.00 donation to the Society for the breeding of a rare or expensive fish in lieu of bringing fry to the BAP auction is not acceptable. This rule is intended to accomplish the following:
a. Limit the loss of value to breeders of truly rare and/or valuable fish.
b. Provide an opportunity for such breeders to receive BAP points and Society recognition for their efforts.
c. Provide an opportunity for other club members to see more rare fish, thus giving the BAP table and auction new life.
d. The club will benefit from the sale since very few items auctioned at the regular meetings break the $30.00 barrier.
e. The target price limitation may allow some club members to purchase rare fish.
F. The BAP Committee, with whom resides final authority, will settle disputes.
G. The BAP Committee consists of the BAP Chainrman, BAP Co-chairman, and club members as designated by the Board of Directors.

Notes:
Characteristics used for point placement are: size, difficulty in obtaining species, special tank or water needs, difficulty in raising fry, history of tank spawning, food requirements, etc.
Information sources used to determine characteristics: other clubs' systems, FAAS, books and other publications accepted by the BAP Chair(s).
Bonus points: Any fish spawned for the first time in the USA will be awarded an additional 25 points.

These rules are meant to be a beginning point to refine for use with the IAA. Expect some changes as needed. Original rules of Minnesota Aquarium Society used with permission Per BobR

so does that mean that your going to keep a list going and make it so you only bap fish once or will it be that i could bap trophs in dec and then again bap them again in jan since its a new year

im not tryin to rock the boat but if you bap stuff once it helps you want bigger and better fish down the road.and plus you dont flood the market with the same fish over and over

As it stands, yes, you can bap the same species once per year, which puts our program a little different from the rest. This gives the small breeder an opportunity to make a run for a prize, and keeps species on the tables at each event. Although half the funds are given to contestants, the other half makes for great prizes and what not for the club. The more fish people can donate, the better, and with an incentive. This is definately open for discussion, Give us your feedback.
