SCOTTISH BRASS BAND ASSOCIATION
CONTEST RULES

Appendix IV
Rules of the Scottish Brass Band Registry

Requirement to have Players Registered
Except as aftermentioned. no player may take part in any contest as a member of a band in membership of the Association unless he is registered with the Scottish Brass Band Registry as a member of that band. Except as aftermentioned, no player may take part in any contest as a guest player or substitute player with a band in membership of the Association unless he is registered with the Scottish Brass Band Registry as a member of another Scottish band, or registered with the British Brass Band Registry as a member of an English band or registered with the British Brass Band Registry Wales as a member of a Welsh band. The foregoing requirements will not apply to the participation of a player in any contest which is the subject of a waiver granted by the Committee as the contest does not require normal registration procedures.

 

A player may only be registered as a member of one band in the United Kingdom at any one time. In the event of any player registering with a band and it later being discovered that the player in question had previously registered with another band and that the previous registration had not been terminated by either cancellation or transfer, the later registration will be deemed to be null and void until such time as the earlier registration is terminated by either cancellation or transfer. It is the responsibility of both the player who is the subject of an application for a new registration and the band submitting that application to ensure that the player in question is not registered with another band in the United Kingdom at the time of the application. The Registrar and the Association accept no responsibility in respect of any new registration which is issued and where it is later discovered that the player in question is or was the subject of a current registration with another band in the United Kingdom.
