And here are some nit-picky comments:

Unfortunately, these comments didn't make it through - in this board, anything in angle brackets is considered to be an html tag...

Could you remind us of the URL - it's buried in the archives somewhere...

I'm slightly worried about the inflationary effect of this clause. In my view, the "odds and sods" should only include couples from universities that can't fill a complete team.

"shall be treated..."

"shall be"

"shall be"

I prefer the following wording:

2.8.6.2 Throughout the team match, each team shall be treated as if they were a single couple entering a four-dance event, and scrutineered accordingly: all couples are recalled together, and placings found in finals for the whole team. Couples within a team are not considered individually.

>2.10.6 The BDC Skating System is used to evaluate
>marks within each division event.

"shall be"

><whether we want it or not, we've no choice!>

Officially, we're not affiliated with BDC, so can use whatever system we like ;-) However, I agree that the scrutineer will only be familiar with the skating system, so that's the only viable scoring system...
