We've received a couple of questions on how Champion Supreme points are being awarded.
The number of points awarded for 1st Place at a sanctioned competition is the number of bands or soloists in that contest up to a maximum six (6) points; each place thereafter receives one point fewer per placing through zero (0).
Points are assigned consecutively to the top placings, but only MWPBA member bands and member soloists are eligible to receive these points. Points awarded at MWPBA Champion Supreme Contests are double those awarded at Sanctioned MWPBA Contests.
At some games, there are multiple band events offered in the same grade. The total number of points available at each games remains unchanged.
Here's how the points are being awarded for the 2015 band contests:
Games | Sanctioning | Points Allocation |
Springfield | standard | Single points per event |
Alma | Champion Supreme | Single points per event (two events per grade for double points) |
Milwaukee | standard | Single points per event |
Chicago | Champion Supreme |
Gr4, Gr5 - double points Gr2, Gr3 - double points per aggregate placing over two events |
Minnesota | standard |
Gr5 - single points Gr3, Gr4 - half-points per event over two events |
Wisconsin | Champion Supreme | Double points per event |
Kentucky | standard |
Gr5 - single points Gr3, Gr4 - half-points per event over two events |
St Louis | standard | Single points per event |
