Welcome to The Contest Sleuth, the site which aims is to bring you brass band contest information without the detective work.
Our main content at the moment is our investigative work looking at historical brass band contest data to shed light on the role draw position has on contest results. You can find out more at the link below…
We’re then going to use this historical data set to make predictions for upcoming contests using just the draw position, and maybe some information about the current form / ranking of the bands. You can find some of our predictions below, or head over to the Contests page using the menu above:
