Anthony Ingham Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 4 minutes ago, La Colombe said: Crikey, how can someone who has been entering several classes every year for getting on for forty years apparently know so little about the marking system? Amazing. Eh? What don’t I know? It used to be based on technical merit (for want of a better phrase) and adjudicated by people with a lot of experience in the particular discipline they were marking. Now it’s marked on “performance” by people who don’t necessarily have any experience in the discipline they are judging. Maybe not in all classes, I assuming the singing classes are still judged by singers? But certainly in some of the others. Do you disagree?

Google the adjudicators for this year and their experience and then come back to me. Also, read and listen to this. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/new-marking-system-implemented-at-this-years-manx-music-festival/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Colombe Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 Yeah, I really can't be bothered thanks. The marking system was slightly different this year but it was basically just the same as it has ever been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there is an issue with the website, and actually nobody has noticed or cares because if you need to know the results of a class you probably already know it, saw it on Facebook or heard it on Manx radio. Have you reported it? They genuinely might not know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
