INSTRUCTIONS FOR TAKING MEASUREMENTS
1 Antler length
Measured following the external curvature, from the lower external edge of the rosette to the highest notch. The measuring tape will be pressed against the antler at 3 cm. of the rosette. When measuring the highest notch, it will be done at a point where the blade measures at least 50% of its maximum width.
2. Length of the fights
Measured along the anteroinferior surface, from the junction with the rosette to the end.
3. Length of the blades
Measured following the outer curvature of the antler, from the place where it begins to widen to the highest notch.
4. Width of the blades
Measurement in the place of greatest extension of the blade, without taking into account points or protuberances, and taking the complete contour of the blade, adapting the measuring tape to the irregularities. Half of this measurement is the value of the width of the blade.
5. Perimeter of the rosettes
Measured in the thickest section of it, saving the roughness with the measuring tape.
6-7. Perimeter of the antlers
Measured at the thinnest section, between the lug and the center tip.
8-9. Perimeter of the antlers between the central tip and the headstock
It will be measured the same as the previous one. If it is not possible to take the measurement due to the very low rise of the blade, it will be replaced by the perimeter of the stake (points numbers 6 and 7), increased by 1 cm. In the event that the measurement can be taken on one antler, it will be adopted for both.
10. Weight of the antlers
The antlers and skull free of all foreign matter are weighed in kilograms, with an appreciation of up to 10 g.
– With the complete skull and without the lower jaw, 0.25 kg will be deducted of the total weight.
– With the skull sawed off, so that the upper teeth are missing, 0.10 kg will be deducted of the total weight.
11. Beauty
| Color | Points |
| – Dyed or light yellow antlers | 0 |
| – From gray to brown | 1 |
| – From brown to black | 2 |
| Tips of the blades. Each suit is valued separately as follows: | Points |
| – Edge of the blade with short and few tips | 0 |
| – Tips on a third of the blade | 1 |
| – Tips on two thirds of the blade | 2 |
| – Tips along the entire rear edge of the blade | 3 |
12. Penalty
| Insufficient wingspan. The maximum internal separation between the antlers: | Points |
| – If it is less than 85% of the average antler length | 1 |
| – If it is less than 80% of the average antler length | 2 |
| – If it is less than 75% of the average antler length) | 3 |
| – If it is less than 70% of the average antler length | 4 |
| – If it is less than 65% of the average antler length | 5 |
| – If it is less than 60% of the average antler length | 6 |
| Defective blades. Each racket is valued separately as follows: | Points |
| – Kidney-shaped, rhomboidal or triangular | de 1 a 3 |
| – Slit shapes | From 2 to 4 |
| – Frayed shapes | From 3 to 5 |
| – Dagger shapes | From 4 to 5 |
| Blade edge | Points |
| – Smooth or porous blades | From 0 to 2 |
| Irregularities | Points |
| – Due to irregular implantation of the antlers. | From 0 to 6 |
| – Antlers of different lengths. | From 0 to 6 |
| – Different length of fights. | From 0 to 6 |
| – Different length of central tips | From 0 to 6 |
