<p>Thanks also to John for leading an impromptu workshop for drummers to give a little more understanding of what some drumming comments mean, and to explain that the judges are there to help you learn how to win, not just to point out your mistakes. <img src='http://www.washingtonpipers.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Reminder: 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”.</p>
<p><strong>Keep this in mind as you go to BCPA sanctioned games and competitions, the general rules for placings ba<img border="0" align="right" width="1" src="http://www.washingtonpipers.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/2-9-08-wpa-130.jpg" alt="2-9-08-wpa-130.jpg" height="1" /><img border="0" align="right" width="1" src="http://www.washingtonpipers.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/2-9-08-wpa-130.jpg" alt="2-9-08-wpa-130.jpg" height="1" />sed on the number of competitors are listed </strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.bcpipers.org/pdf2007/BCPASoloPipingRulesRev9.pdf"><strong>here&gt;&gt;</strong></a><strong> </strong></p>
