This will be certified in form of steward certificates, which contain information on the cat breeds which have been carried each time as well as the aptitude for this job.

• He is not allowed to leave the judge before the end of the judging and has to be available for the Best in Show.
• He is not allowed to give any comment, whether it is his opinion of the carried cat or its identity.
• He is not allowed to inform the exhibitors of the judgement but for the case when the judge allows it expressly and/or his translation is required.
