Hi if there is a tie for first position in the league table after the results are in and normally two bands are promoted will the second postioned band be promoted making three bands or just the two first placed bands. Regards Tom

Hi Tom – you may have already got the answer to this question! but the rules state ‘in the case where two or more bands tie with equal first placing, then only these bands will be promoted. If two or more bands tie with equal second placing, then these bands, in addtion to the first placed band, will be promoted’.

Any truth to the rumours that Burbage & Ireland are also up?
October 29, 2012 at 9:05 am
Not a rumour….please see the news article posted on this site in May Re-Organisation Statement
The site currently shows the ‘formal’ grading tables issued immediately after the contest. The invitation to the three bands affected is not shown on the grading tables, as these are based purely upon contest results
