We've been busy going through our lists of contests to bring you the end of year

3, Wales 2 and Scotland 1.
We've also shown the winners and losers in the points stakes as well, so read

had a good year in points terms and those who have lost a bit of ground. This
is of course not to say that they have become better or worse bands in musical
terms, but it does show the ones who have made a bit of progress and those who
have fallen off the pace a bit over the year.
