.Pete Taylor Wrote-------------" It wrongly assumes everyone is a potential cheat " ----This indicates bureaucracy for its own sake. -----I do like that archaic idea of innocent until proved guilty thing. If the need arises surely a player of your own choice can be brought in. Policing the movement might be a preferred solution ----Everyone I'm sure is happy to have rules but, in my short connection with banding, I have heard of many possible naughties such as ---------a youth contests that include ageing players or an 11 to 16 School that enters a senior school band with players that never even went to the school. I'm sure that other Listees will have concerns about contests at all levels. A band might hire the whole of a top level band to represent them in a contest but would not be worthy of their own name/tradition. Individual players would I hope, for their own integrity, not wish to be associated with such scams. Set common-sense rules and slam those who, on the day, act unprofessionally. There can be very legitimate reasons for bringing in players and surely nobody in their right mind would disqualify (or would they?) a police band for a non-performance enhancing technical infringement!!! Down in the deep south-west we have registration for all players, even the youth, and bands abide by age limits---we have no problems at our local contests. Such a simple measure ensures accountability. --
