Class Structure
Over the past 3 seasons DCUK has only made an A Class available
following the British Championships Prelims - for those Corps who did
not make the top 8 after Prelims. For 2012 at all contests
including the British Drum Corps Championships, DCUK plan to have an Open Class and an A Class #
for all established Corps plus
a Junior Class for feeder units to Open/A Class Corps - Corps can
self select their class. The
Junior Class will also be open to Cadet/Feeder Corps of existing
Open/A Class Corps or, subject to approval, new and emerging Corps (contact us for details).
Costs and Payments

payments can be made. Please note that all costs have remained
the same as they were in 2011 - there is no increase.
Order of Performance
The order of performance at 2012 contests will
be determined by the order in which registrations are received and
also by the scores obtained during the season.
For example:
- At the first contest :- the last Corps
to perform in each Class will be the first Corps to register whilst the first
Corps to perform will be the Corps that registered last.
- At the 2nd and subsequent contests inc Championships :- Corps which have already competed at a previous
contest will perform last in the order of their previous highest
score with the final Corps to perform being the Corps with the
highest score from all previous contests. Prior to this the
remaining Corps will perform in the order in which they registered.
- At the British Championships all Open Class
Corps will compete in a Preliminary contest and only a maximum of
the top 8 will go through to perform in the evening Finals
event. Both A and Junior Class will have a straight run Finals
event (i.e. no Prelims). Open Class Corps that are outside the
top 8 after the Prelims may be offered an exhibition performance before
the Open Class Finals.
Withdrawal from Contests.
Corps have until the 30th April 2012 to advise which DCUK Contests
they wish to attend. Prior to this date Corps can withdraw from
competing at a particular contest with no penalty.
From 1st May 2012 the penalty for withdrawing from a DCUK Contest
will be a “fine” of double the entry charge for that contest and
must be paid before the Corps can compete again in 2012. 50% of this
fine will be held by DCUK and 50% will transferred to the Contest Organiser.
