Registration Process
- If your organisation has more than one unit then a separate registration is required for each unit.  
- Registration should be made by 1st November 2011 and should indicate the Class you wish to enter and also which contests you will be attending which should include at least one in January, one in February (not including Stoke - i.e. if you enter Stoke you must also enter one of the other two UK contests in February) and one in March The contests in Ireland and France cannot be counted as one of your contests in that month - i.e. if you enter Ireland and/or France you must also enter one of the other UK contests in those months.  For all Open Class unit this must also include the first contest on 15 January in Bristol and the contest in Stoke on 25 February.
- The contest in Ireland is being organised by the Irish Marching Band Association and the Contest in France is being organised by Muremo and, whilst both are sanctioned by WGUK, neither officially form part of the WGUK season and so cannot be used for seeding purposes for Championships. As a result of this WGUK will not make a charge to enter these contests.
- If, after 1st November, any contest is deemed to be under subscribed then the  WGUK Board may decide to remove that contest from the schedule and if that contest was the only one you entered in that month you will need to chose another contest in that month to be eligible to perform at Championships.
- Following 1st November show entry details will be released to units and you will have until 30th November to confirm or amend your show entries.  
- From 1st December if you withdraw from any contest then there is a £50 penalty (to be paid before your next contest) plus a 2 point penalty (20 tenths) which will be deducted from all scores at subsequent contests including Championships.
- From 1st December if you wish to enter additional shows then your unit will be placed to perform first in their class at the additional show/s entered.

Performance Order
- The performance order for the January contests will be determined by the order in which fully completed and confirmed registrations are received.  To confirm your registration you will be sent an invoice within 72 hours of registering covering the MPA:UK and WGUK Member Fees and the Contest Entry Fees and you will have 7 days from the date you registered to send payment. After 7 days, if no payment has been received, your registration will be deemed expired and you will be required to re-register.
- The performance order for the February and March contests will be by random draw which will take place at the MPA:UK AGM in December 2011.
- The performance order for Open Class Prelims for each unit will be based on the average score from the compulsory February Stoke Contest and the highest score in March.
- The performance order for Cadet Class Finals, Junior Class Finals and A Class Finals and Open Class Prelims will be seeded by taking the average score of each unit from their previous two contests.
- The performance order for Junior Class Playoffs and A Class Playoffs (top 3 in each class) will be by a random draw held on the arena at Championships directly after the Junior Class and  A Class Finals results.
- The performance order for Open Class Finals will be seeded by taking the unannounced scores from the Open Class Prelims contest.
