PDI Championships
This is now the 21st time (2010) that I have tried to persuade all the clubs in N&EMPF to enter this competition, and is now the third time it has been for digital images.
The purpose of the competition is two fold – to find the Champion N&EMPF Club, and the two clubs to represent N&EMPF in the PAGB National Championships at Warwick University.
Last Year's Event
When the entries for this competition closed I had received 23 entries which was the highest it has ever been in the 20 year history of the slide/PDI event. Unfortunately two clubs did drop out for various reasons but it still left 21 which still beat the previous best of 18 in 1995.
The format for the competition was exactly the same as last year - a preloaded first round of 16 images followed by a final of 20 images with at least 10 previously unseen for the top 8 clubs.
To keep people informed of progress there was a half way break on both rounds.
The judges were Anthony Pioli, John Haines and Mike Edwards and the marks they handed out are all in the table below.
Congratulations once more to Worksop for their fourth consecutive victory (and eight in total) - perhaps one day you will tell the rest of is how to do it.
Thanks to Peter C, Neil M, Dave G, Dave S and the Beeston projection team for both the work and loan of the equipment.
