Regulation
Participation in more than one section
The same ensemble may enter only one group in the Guitar Ensembles and Orchestras section. In groups with an age limit, the applicable group is determined by the oldest performer; the teacher and conductor are not taken into account. The ensemble may also enter another section, provided it meets the relevant requirements.
