They'll probably spawn as long as you don't let them read the book.

You can get Show Sanctioning through the RSG. In fact I'm the one to
talk to. There's more info on the specifics on our web page (URL at
the bottom of this message). Basically the rules require at least one
distinct division for rainbowfish, and no crosses are allowed. You
also should advertise the show as RSG Sanctioned (we're trying to get
the word out), send us a copy of the results, and print an ad for RSG
or reprint one of our articles from the Rainbow Times. The cost for
sanctioning is $10.

When is your show? There could still be time to get it sanctioned. I
can respond to sanctioning request rather quickly if need be.

You can keep the snow birds. We like being able to drive without them
in our way ;~)
