The lists
FEATS lists revised, May 2005
The FEATS list system was introduced in 1993 with a view to ensuring a more even participation by groups.
It works by maintaining a three-list “table”, in which the top four groups in each list are given preference in the selection process, groups further down the table being asked if they are willing to be called as reserves at a later date. A team that does take part is moved to the bottom of the list for next year’s selection.
Thus, it is not a merit list, but a rota based on participation in FEATS.
Over the years, as groups’ activities have changed, as new groups have been created and old ones have faded out, the spread between the three lists had become uneven, with the consequence that certain groups were taking part in FEATS more than others (as a result of coming in as reserve, sometimes at very short notice).
The FEATS steering committee therefore undertook a review of the lists in 2005. The aim was to ensure an even spread between those groups who take part in FEATS on a regular basis and those who participate less frequently – for lack of resources, geographical reasons or other.
The lists published below – in alphabetical order, not according to the groups’ current position in the rota – were first implemented for inviting participation in FEATS 2006.
