Competition

Knockout over circa 7 rounds
Clubs submit 11 images with the last one being a tiebreaker, only to be used in a the tie is for 1st place.
Round 1 is a run through of the images with no images being knocked out.
Images eliminated in Round 2 score 2, Round 3 score 3 and so on. A winner was selected from Round 7 which is the last 3 images, which score 10, 9,and 8 points respectively.
It follows from this that the overall score is heavily skewed towards those clubs who get an entry in the top three.
