1. |
Each competing band must send a representative to the draw for the order of play and all bands must play in the order drawn. Officials will draw for any band not represented at the draw. This rule will not apply where the contest is the subject of a pre-draw. | |
2. |
The band drawn to play first must commence at the advertised time and if it fails to do so will be prevented from competing that day. In such circumstances the band drawn next in order shall immediately take the place of number one. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any emergency or unusual circumstances, the organisers will be entitled to exercise discretion. | |
3. |
Any requirements for substitutes for sick players must be made intimated before the draw or, in the event of the contest being subject to a pre-draw, prior to the commencement of the contest. | |
4. |
In any situation where a material discrepancy in procedure arises during the course of the draw, unless all band representatives present at the draw agree unanimously that the draw should stand, the draw will be deemed void and a re-draw will take place. What does and does not constitute a material discrepancy in procedure will be determined at the sole discretion of the Contest Controller whose decision on this point will be final. |
