5. Registration: Registration Cards will be presented at the registration point on the day of the Contest and be verified against a Registry computer print-out prepared by the Registry. Only registered players named on the print-out will be permitted to play (exception para 8).
It will be the responsibility of Band Secretaries to ensure that Registration Cards are complete in every detail, including franking for the current year, up-to-date signature of the player and a valid effective date.

9. UnGraded Band Section: This new Section is for Bands not graded under the grading rules of the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain and is intended to encourage such Bands to seek an introduction to and experience contesting at a local level. If a bona fide member of the Band is registered with another band, he/she will be permitted to play with that band at the contest.
10. One Day Transfers will be permitted to a maximum of two (2) players on prior application, in writing on band letterhead, to the Secretary. The transferred player(s) must be from the same graded section or below of that competing band (First Section bands may draw from a Championship band); must not be competing with any band playing in these Championships (except para 9 above); must be in possession of a current registration card, and produce a letter of authority from the parent band.
11. Entry Fee (all sections) for member bands is £50.00p and for non-member bands £75.00p. Where a Band elects to enter two or more sections (para 3 above) withdrawal from the Bands recognised section automatically disqualifies the Band from playing in the selected higher sections. Entry fees are not refundable.
