Kevin, You have got me thinking ! (no mean achievement!) I have pondered about the inadequacies of the grading system and come up with the following. Please don't all come round and lynch me, they are only suggestions: (I'm not sure about number 3, what does everyone else think ?) 1) Results from 3 years ago shouldn't count because a bands standard of 3 years ago is nothing like the bands standard now. 2) The more contests that are counted the better - I suggest 2 grading contests per year over 2 years instead of 1 grading contest a year over 3 years. I think this would give a better indication of a bands "form" while also smoothing out "chance" results. 3) National finals to be sped and the formation of a nation-wide superleague which takes place on the same weekend as the areas and has promotion and relegation to the areas championship section. (it is a bit unfeasible for lower section or indeed any bands to fork out 5 or 6 grand to get to the national finals). On point number 1, my band has changed 50% of its players since competing at the area 3 years ago. On point number 2, my band won the area 3 years ago but got demoted after only 1 year in the top section. We still however get an "average placing" for the year we won - seems daft to me. On point number 3, a lot of bands in my area win the 1st section, then get 'ass kicked' in the top section and go straight back down, which is all a bit demoralising. All views are my own and nothing to do with the Band I play for. Rob Mason Kibworth --
