4BR understands that the Norwegian Music Federation is about to announce that the 2010 Norwegian National Championships in Bergen will break new ground once more, by opting to use open adjudication in all of its competing sections.

Gradual

The Norwegian National Championships have for some years gradually encompassed open adjudication in its lower sections, although until now, the Elite Section has remained closed for both its own choice and set work disciplines.

It is understood that will change from 2010, allied to a pre-contest draw for the competing bands.
