 The last thread's getting a bit complicated so I'll start a new one:

You can't for example work out who is in the first/second division first round waltz until you have qualifying round jive results, so we inevitably get some delay between the first and second rounds while the scrutineer enters the final marks of the qualifying round. Normally the scrutineer runs an event or two behind what is acutally on the floor, so its likely that we have to wait 2/3 minutes between the end of the jive and the announcement of who is in which division. Once we have two divisions, this problem is abated, since say the first division is running on the floor whilst the second is being worked out by the scrutineer. (the same problem occurs for the "b" finals in both divisions (places 7-12))

It usually takes the scrutineer some time to enter a new competition into the system (here just the second division) I am not sure exactly how long, but if there's a list of say 25 teams in the second division, that should take a couple of minutes.

Likely result: best running order is Qualifier - 2 minute break 1st division 1st round, 2nd division, 1st etc.

We are also likely to get the finals backwards, eg 1st division 1-6th comes first rather than last.

These sort of proceedural issues sound dull, but if there's ten minutes of waiting around to work out results during the team match people won't be happy.
