Why not try some decision making at the British Open?

Download Steven Mead's 'Adjudication Criteria' system and see if it helps you come up with your decision to who you think should win the 164th British Open title.

British Open
  Why not try out the Adjudication Criteria system for yourselves

4BR will be helping as many listeners as possible enjoy the 164th British Open Championship at Symphony Hall on Saturday by asking them to take an active part in the process of reaching their own decisions about their choice of winner.

Live comments

4BR will be providing our usual coverage on Peter Graham's set-work, 'The Triumph of Time' with our respected comments on each performance from our resident experts Chris Thomas and Steven Mead — although by downloading Steve's own 'Adjudication Criteria' you will also be able to try out his system of marking performances for yourself.

Try it

We would like to see as many people as possible try out the system (even if you agree or disagree with it) — to see if you also come up with the same result as that of the judges or Steve himself.

Have a go and trust your opinion — you never know. It's a bit of extra interest in the day, but it also has a very serious point to make to.
