RSPBA Select Judges for 2017 Major Championships

The full list of adjudicators for this year’s major pipe band championships has been ratified by the Board of Directors of the Association who met today at headquarters in Washington Street, Glasgow.

In a statement issued this evening the Association say: ‘It is a very taxing and complicated process and this year it was carried out against a backdrop of Adjudicator Panel membership which has grown to its highest level ever with 69 active adjudicators to consider for assignment.

The larger adjudicator membership, however, presents the opportunity for bands to be assessed by some fresh faces which increases our capacity to select adjudication teams which offer a healthy cross-section of musical opinion and experience.

Each adjudicator submits a Championship availability return which informs the process when selecting adjudication teams. Logical rotation, balance of experience and opportunities to utilise new adjudicators form the basic principles behind selection.

‘The selection criteria are generally based on the following components: 
(a) scrutiny of what an adjudicator has been assigned to in previous contests to avoid repetition

‘(b) geographical spread and International representation where available

‘(c) selection of adjudication teams which reflect a good ‘mix’ of high achievement, strong musical profile and adjudication experience.’
