Although the Masters circumstance illustrates some problems within the
adjudication system, at least there was some subjectiveness applied. If Geoff
Brand was alone in adjudicating this contest then Ransome would have won, but
the other two adjudicators (who placed them 20th and 17th) resulted in them
being placed 12th overall..... it sounds crazy, but better, surely, than
getting 1st OR 20th undeservedly!! 

Does this show that the concept of judging of contesting is ludicrous, or does
it show that a fair proportion of our adjudicators are ? In adj's notes we
often see that things such as tuning, tone and balance won/lost a contest...
can opinion on this differ so much? 

Roll-on the day when we can have 10 adjs at a contest, to at least get rid of
some of the pointlessness of it all!

By the way, anyone see the Brass-Band programme on TV on Sunday? THat guy who
said it was near-impossible to maintain a relationship outside of banding must
be very sheltered! Anyone else think they were making banding out to be
something it wasn't?.... they weren't a top-section band afterall, but still
they said that they had no free-time to themselves due to band practice!...
how many lower section bands practice every night???!

See yas, Kris
