How do judges arrive at their decisions?
How Dolls Are Judged
J
udging teams are typically made up of three judges, one of whom is the
team captain. Generally the first thing the team does is determine if the
dolls entered in the category fit the category description. The team will have
read all the categories, not just the ones that they are judging, to be sure each
doll entered fits the category description. If a doll is not entered in the correct
category, it will be disqualified. In most cases, the disqualification card (which
is given to the owner when they pick up their doll) lists the category in which
the doll should been entered. It is important to note, there is not always a
category for every doll. Some years there will be dolls which do not fit any
listed category. There may, in the future, be a category for the doll - so do not
give up considering the doll for competition in the future.
If you are entering dolls in competition, the first and most important thing
that you need to consider is whether the doll fits the category description. Read
each word of the description carefully. Here is an example of what might be
considered:
Category Title: Antique German Doll with Bisque Head
Category Description: Baby with painted eyes and with molded or painted
hair. Must have bent or non-supporting legs. All babies of this type must be in
this class, excluding all bisque and googlies.
Some questions to ask to ensure your doll fits the description:
* Is the hair molded or painted?
* Are the eyes painted?
* Is the doll German?
* Is the doll antique? (Antique
is considered to be pre-1920)
* Is the head bisque?
* Are all legs bent or nonsupporting?
* Is the doll other than all
bisque or googly?
Also check to make sure that
there is no preceding or following
category in any class that
precludes your entering the doll in
your chosen category:
Example Category Title &
Description 1: China - Miniature,
8" and under, china shoulder head
on cloth, leather or wooden body
only, male or female, any doll of this size with a china head must be in this
category.
Example Category Title & Description 2 (Fig. 2): Doll House Doll -
Fig. 1 This 6-inch doll with china shoulder head
and china limbs are like those often used to
populate a doll house.
Fig. 2 Pictured here is sizable array of
doll house dolls.
