Competing

Brentwood grading competition 2007

Competitions take much organisation in order to achieve the organised chaos we see every time.  Although the competitors may seem to be milling around in some random order (and sometimes are), they all have their own place in the structure.  Numerous officials guide competitors through the day towards the awards ceremonies. Scroll down to see upcoming competitions listed. 

These sections address all aspects of this in the following areas:

  • Introduction to competitions – this page will tell you everything about how
    competitions work and how to get the most from them.  Main headings within
    this section are:
    • Introduction
    • Planning
    • Roles
    • Judging (& how to get the best from judges)
  • Competition Structures – this section introduces the main competition structures that operate within the UK with detailed sub-pages for each one.
  • Introduction to Judging – this has the FIG Code of points and what might be called a ‘cheats guide’.
