Wales Area

Fourth Section 2023

Contest Notes:

⚠️ Average points anomaly ⚠️ Average points given to bands are worked out using the following formula: ((n + 1) / 2) where n is the number of bands competing in a given year. In the official welsh area 4th section grading tables, the 'Average Points' awarded to bands were 5 in 2023, and 6 in 2022. This does not match what we expect to see which would be 2.5 in 2023 (4 bands played) and 3 in 2022 (5 bands played). We have been unable to locate any documentation for why this is the case, if anyone has any information that may help us please contact support@solosoftware.co.uk
