Actually, luck now DOES play an important role in the new system.  The
tie break judge is decided by a random draw.  Eric Crees was selected,
and as a result, we tied for 8th with Ever Ready, they got 8th and we
got 9th...had Geoffrey Brand been selected instead, these two results
would have been the other way round.  Regardless of all the advantages
of this new system, it is now true that there is a totally random
element to the brass band contest.
