- 4 represents a pass at CPAGB standard,
- 2 is a fail
- 3 is a maybe

Format
- New work only from current club members, ie no previous entry to any LCPU competition with no more than 2 images from any photographer. The first four images have to be from different photographers.
- Club’s entry consists of 8 pdi images. The first 7 images are the formal entry, with the 8th held in reserve in case a tiebreak is needed to determine the winning club.
- The actual number of images used in competition will depend on the number of Clubs that have entered, the more clubs the fewer the images. In 2019, our first 5 images were used, in 2020 only the first 4 were used.
- Images are eliminated after each round, with those eliminated in R1 scoring 1, R2 scoring 2 etc. The judge determines how many rounds there are.
- The winning club is the one with the most points ie their images having lasted the most rounds. There is a prize for the best image.
