Yorkshire Regional Championships - 2010

[yorkyboy]

From what i've heard from the hall the first section results are very questionable.

Congratulations to all those who have done well.

Congrats to Owen and all at Knottingley, great result. Shame to see my old mates at Strata under achieve again, the yorkshires seem to be a bit of a stumbling block for them.
Also a shame to see Imps and Kipp down the rankings.

Instead of all the guesswork and speculation regarding promotion and relegation (which we seem to be inundated with at this time of year) can I suggest that we wait for the official league tables to be announced by the respective 'area/regional' committee secretarys.

Ridiculous Post - how pompous can you get Mr Thorne?

The Yorkshire Regional Commitee publish the pre-contest grading tables so that there is no speculation whatsoever. One simply adds the result to the existing grading score. I think my degree and post-graduate qualification probably suffice to qualify me to add two numbers together. The word "provisional" is there because there is, of course, an appeals procedure against promotion/relegation, but the points stay the same regardless.
1st Section table (unofficial of course!!) to follow shortly.

It's a darn sight more interesting than cyber-bookmaking!!

1st Section Grading Points - Unofficial of course and subject to confirmation by the Regional Commitee, following any appeals procedures etc etc

Hebden Bridge 15 prom
Hade Edge 16 prom
Hammonds Saltaire 19
Meltham 18 (Can be promoted by winning the Finals)
City of Sheffield 18.5
Imps 22
Cornerstone 22.5
Kippax 23
Holme Silver 26
Yorkshire Co-op 27
Slaithwaite 27.5 rel
Lindley 29 rel

*Edited Hammonds Saltaire score to 19, and Cornerstone to 22.5*
2md.

And the points bands would carry into next year's contest (provisional, unofficial etc etc)

Meltham 5 (Unless promoted at Finals)
City of Sheffield 11
Hammonds Saltaire 11.5
Imps 14.5
Cornerstone 15
Kippax 15.5
Holme Silver 18.5
Yorkshire Co-op 22

Average points for incoming bands should be 13, I think!

p.s. Hammonds in first post should read 19, not 18

[BariPower]

Wow what a day - I thought the results were a bit odd but I dont have the qualifications to judge but one band stood high above the rest for me. Looking forward to tomorrows battle!!

[andyfake]

And Cornerstone are 22.5, not 22 after today. Damn this 5 minute editing deadline!!

Sorted! 2md.

Cheers Crawf - told you I could add up!
And don't worry about today - Emley survive to scrap it out with us again next year!

We were there for the day. Don't think I heard the same bands as the adjudicators in First section. We heard the same bands as 4BR.
Think those pink curtains must have distorted things.

[Mrs Horn]

Well done Grange Moor From your Whit Friday mate on t'other side o't 'ill

[steve butler]

You were right Andy, it was a ridiculous post

But as for the other bit?
You've never been that interesting
