Aslanidis Dimitrios - 20/07/2020 19:51:29

Participation and entry at AS GOLDEN WINTER DERBY

Simple fanciers, associations or even federations can participate in the races. The number of pigeons that can participate is unlimited. Each participant can give names to his own pigeons, so that they appear in the result lists accordingly. If a participant has more than 12 pigeons, teams of 12 pigeons are created; the team names can be either designated by the participant or created automatically (eg A, B, C).

Pigeons should wear rings of the current year (2020). The chip code of each ring is available at any time and is sent to the owner about a week later by email. Up to the semifinal race, ring chip codes will not appear in the result lists of training and competition; instead, a code given by us at the time of pigeon delivery will appear in the aforementioned lists. Necessary for the participation process is the pigeon property card upon delivery.

Pigeons can be introduced from 15th August. The pigeons will be placed at a specific space for a 12-day quarantine. Every ten days the entry list will be checked and subsequently displayed on our site. If any of pigeons entered is lost or becomes ill, the owner can replace it free of charge until 30th October.

Pigeons taking part in the races must be vaccinated for paramyxo about 10-15 days before the day of delivery, be perfectly healthy, have a recorded vaccine serial number, and, if possible, a veterinarian certificate. Pigeons before introduction in the loft are to be vaccinated again and the special chip ring is to be placed. If the pigeons have not been vaccinated before their delivery, they will firstly be vaccinated, then placed in a special quarantine area, and finally, after about 10 - 15 days in the loft.

 

The participation fee for the entry of pigeons in AS - Golden Winter Race and marking of aces is 100€ per pigeon. Every team with 2 pigeons can deliver 2-4 reserve pigeons.

The reserve pigeons  can replace for free the pigeons who may lost after the first race and if there are even more pigeons available , they must be activated after the first race with a cost of 100€ each. The activation of the pigeons must be done with activating all the reserve pigeons and separately. In case that the fancier don’t want to activate the pigeons the organizer has the right to let another fancier activate the reserve pigeons.
