WPA Mini-Gathering January 5th Results

Todd — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 02:21:50 +0000

40 Competitors pre-registered for competition, and while some scratched, many showed up and registered today! Thanks to all the volunteers, competitors and audience members who contributed to a very smooth and efficient event today. We tried running side drumming after Grade 5 piping, simultaneously with adult and Grade 4 piping. While we are unsure we can do this again due to needing an additional room; many expressed appreciation for finishing the event in 3.5 hours. We’ll work with the church over the next couple of weeks to see if we can come up with another room for next month.

Thanks very much to John Moore, Drumming and Keith Paton, Piping for stepping in with late notice and helping ensure we held the event today!

You may notice a new format for results. We’ve begun adding the Pipe Band the member reports to us on their sign up sheet. The current information in this list is from memory, but we’ll update it over the next several days. If you told us what pipe band you belong to, we’ll add them and a link with your solo competition results. This is beneficial for bands in terms of promoting their web sites popularity in search engines as well as adding some additional incentive to compete in solo competitions for some band members.

One final note about results. WPA does not follow BCPA rules for placings at these events. We believe it’s valuable for competitors to get a clear understanding of their placing, so even when there are less than 10 competitors, you will see placings all the way out to 6, except in the case of “break down”.

Keep this in mind as you go to BCPA sanctioned games and competitions, the general rules for placings based on the number of competitors are listed here>> and are:

less than 3 competitors - one (1) prize 3 competitors - two (2) prizes 4 to 10 competitors - three (3) prizes 11 to 15 competitors - four (4) prizes 16 to 20 competitors - five (5) prizes 21 and over competitors - six (6) prizes
