Our qualified scrutineer will use the ‘skating system’ to analyse the adjudicators marks. Six pairs will be selected from preliminary rounds into a final round. All finalists will be presented with a trophy at our prize presentation. Occasionally you may see 5, 7 or 8 pairs in a final. This is sometimes the outcome when using this form of marks analysis.
