The reason there are no standards, is because nobody has written them. Even the AKC one day just wrote up some standards for dogs. It's not like they're set in stone somewhere, someone made them up out of thin air. I'm sure when the AKC was founded, TONS of people were up in arms about different breeds not being to THEIR standards. But eventually those that were interested in showing did, and those that weren't didn't. That's why we have things like labradoodles and designer breeds like those which still cost a fortune but would never be allowed in a show arena.

It would be almost no different than a regular trade show, but that people would enter their snakes into a competitive contest which is judged to a made-up set of standards, which may win them bragging rights. It's exactly like any other show, if you want to exhibit, you do, if you don't, you don't.

It's not like everyone will be forced into breeding to the standards of the club. Just that people who do want to show, will.
