If both shows are AOS judged, you may show them at both shows, and be

Color blind AOS judges? I won’t make
a snide remark that we all (not judges) thought you all were color blind. But seriously,
I remember reading somewhere – Orchids? Handbook on judging? -- that
all AOS judges had to pass a color perception test to become students. Has
that changed?
OrchidWiz and the AOS award program both have that capability; I think
Wildcat may, too.
