Contact Ali (ne_rep@bjcp.org) for more info and to request a seat.

I'd be tempted if I expected a good result on my exam to arrive before then, but I'm expecting neither a good result, nor them to arrive before then!

I hope a few of you make the trip it would be great to see us having some local national and master level judges!

That's points, not competitions.

A point or max 1.5 per judge subject to organisers discretion per comp so 7-10 comps.

You're forgetting BOS points so I have often earned 2 points per day.
I even have a point from simply attending a session with Gordon strong in April.

Not from comps I organised BOS judges should have a clean palate imho

Didn't notice this table before anybody tell me if it's new?

Usually when filling in form there is a default drop down for allocation points to judges.

Isn't bos .5 points? Anyway yes, 10 points. Still takes some time :) Think I'm about half way there.

Yeah there's a balancing point though. You can get 2 points with BOS but as CH says, BOS judges should have clean palates so for larger competitions, it makes sense to keep them from judging but they can still acrue staff, organiser or steward points.
