SCOTTISH BRASS BAND ASSOCIATION
CONTEST RULES

Version effective from 1 January 2005

Appendix IV
Rules of the Scottish Brass Band Registry


Cancelled Registration (card held by the Registry)
1.
  In any situation where a band has cancelled a player’s registration and returned the Player’s registration card to the Registry for filing and where the band now wishes to re-register the player, this will be treated as a new registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any situation where the registration card is still held by the Registry, photographs need not be submitted unless specifically requested by the Registrar and the restriction on re-registering with a band within a period of 6 months of ceasing to be registered with the band in question (as contained in Restrictions affecting New Registrations and Transfers, rule 1) will not apply. Registration cards are generally held on file by the Registrar for a maximum period of 2 years however the period of retention of cards on file is entirely at the discretion of the Registrar.
2.
  Should however the player have registered with another band in the interval, rule 1 of this section will not apply and the situation will be governed by the rules on either Registration of Unregistered Players or Registration of Players by Transfer as the case may be and also the rules on Restrictions affecting New Registrations and Transfers.
