The Solo Piping Judges Association, Founded 2014
The Association was formed as a new entity in 2014. The precursor to the SPJA was the Joint Committee for Judging, which comprised competition organisers, the Competing Pipers Association, and the Piobaireachd Society. The SPJA now sits as a body which maintains a graded List of Judges, and works closely with others in overseeing both the interests of solo piping judges and that of the competition system.
