How the judges score Greyfriars Pipes & Drums
18 performances across 3 seasons · every sheet they've been given
Read this carefully. Each bar is a judge's average placing of Greyfriars Pipes & Drums minus where the band finished overall that day — left means they tend to score the band higher than it finishes, right means lower. It reflects a judge's tendency, not a verdict: piping, drumming and ensemble also carry the band's own strengths in those disciplines, and a small sample says little. For piping — the only discipline with two judges on the same tune — the vs co-judge figure is the cleaner signal. Adjudicators seen 2+ times get a bar — two-sheet reads are shown faint, since one day swings them; everyone else is listed below.
