- The new color/mark must successfully, repeatedly
reproduce itself. The resulting quality of the new
Indian Fantail must be sufficient as to be showable
(this does not mean capable of winning the show, but is
far enough along to proudly be showable…representative
of the breed).
-
The color/mark must be popular enough
to gain the interest of at least two other breeders
not of the same household. The interested breeders
must breed out of the same stock developed and
provided by the originating breeder(s).
-
The originating breeder(s) plus the two additional new
breeders (or more) will breed enough birds of this
color/mark to create a new class (8 or more birds) and
will exhibit in at least two or more IFCA shows. (Note:
this new color class is not to be confused with an
experimental “genetics” class; this Breeder Recognition
Points Project will have progressed beyond that point.)
-
The originating breeder may now notify that the IFCA
Awards Committee of its probable completion in adherence
to the above procedures and rules. The Awards Committee
Chairperson will notify the Genetics Committee and IFCA
Board for a majority vote approval and awarding of the
200 points.

The award is to recognize the acceptance of an
individual’s judging skills by the IFCA members and
his/her superiority in procedure, knowledge and fairness
in judging the Indian Fantail.
-
Applicant must have been an IFCA Certified Judge for no
less than 5 consecutive years.
-
Must have been voted by IFCA members to judge at least 3
National Shows (one of either the NYBS or WNYBS, plus
two Grand National(s). Once the NPA Requirements for
Master Judge have also been met, the applicant may apply
on his/her own for that award, as well.
- A master judge patch will be
awarded.
OUTSTANDING SERVICE AWARD
In association with the NPA, this award is to
recognize continued service, past or present, of the
highest quality in helping build the IFCA, service to
its membership and the development of the Indian
Fantail.
- The individual(s) must be
nominated by an active IFCA member. The nomination will
be reviewed by the IFCA Board of Directors; if
sanctioned by a majority vote, it will be presented to
the NPA. The NPA will award their OUTSTANDING SERVICE
AWARD certificate on behalf of the IFCA. This award will
take place at the NPA Grand National banquet.
-
The nominee(s) must be an active IFCA member in good
standing for no less than 2 years and have bred Indians
for no less than 3 years.
INDIAN FANTAIL HALL OF FAME
It is the skill of the breeder to create an
Indian Fantail that meets the IFCA Standard; but it is
the disposition and “showmanship” of the bird that also
contributes to the win. If a bird does not station or
show well, it will not win a Championship. To recognize
and immortalize such true Champions, the INDIAN FANTAIL
HALL OF FAME award has been developed to recognize these
outstanding birds.
Eligibility
Any Indian Fantail bred and owned by the
exhibitor/breeder and meeting the following
requirements:
-
To be awarded annually based upon the show records of
the previous two years.
-
Within a 2 year period (from Grand National to Grand
National), the bird that has the most Master Breeder
points is automatically elected to the Hall of Fame. In
case of a tie, both birds will be recognized. If more
than two birds end the 2 year period within the same
points, no award will be given, as no bird, at this
point has clearly distinguished itself.
-
A certificate will be awarded, stating the bird, band
number, total points won, the years and breeder’s name.
