I'll have a stab...

Blackpool
Hammersmith
Britroc
Bristol & Scotland

This order relates to dancer calibre only - not to other things like music, venue and organisation. For my money, Bristol and Britroc take the prize this year, with Blackpool next and Hammersmith an awful last.

(though I can't comment on Scotland really, since I wasn't there this year.)

Not entirely sure where the Jivemasters fits in. It's invitation only, so slightly different. And it's marked by the audience, which is different again.

And in, hopefully, a small minority of cases, members of the audience aren't clear on the difference in the levels of musical interpretation between a dance competition and a telephone directory

Certainly if you place in Jivemasters I think it would be outrageous to see you in the Intermediates anywhere. But I wouldn't want to go too far down that road.

Still clear as mud?
