S - SENIOR JUDGE
Most likely to have competed successfully at the highest level with continuity over an extended period of years, able to demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of the music, and with experience of judging. Eligible to judge any level of competition, but to judge with experienced judges at major competitions in the first year of acceptance.
A - APPROVED JUDGE:
Those knowledgeable and experienced and having had notable success in competition, amateur or professional, but not necessarily at the highest level. Eligible to judge at any level of competition, but in major events should be accompanied by a senior judge or judges.
Upgrade to senior judge status is possible after an approved period, further experience having accumulated from a suitable number of judging assignments at major events. Senior judges to be consulted in the assessment of this.
New applicants who otherwise meet the approved criteria but who have had an extended break from the competition scene, and/or who have insufficient experience of judging may not judge at major competitions.
They may judge at major competitions only after a suitable period, subject to the approval of the general committee based on reports from those with whom they have judged, and a log of judging assignments undertaken.
Our List of Judges is now in two parts - our regular Judges List and also a Supplementary List of those who are still active premier graded pipers who are eligible to judge any competition at B Grade level or below.
