From the Far Western District Standard Operating Procedures

Plateau Champions

The following score-based plateau titles will be awarded to choruses competing in the divisional contests. The average score of the two most recent appearances in any of the three past Fall District Chorus Contests will determine the plateau placement as follows:

  • Plateau AAA: Average triple panel score of 1278 (71%) or higher, or any chorus returning to competition after winning the International Chorus Championship. Choruses with an average score less than 1278 may voluntarily place themselves into this plateau.
  • Plateau AA; Average triple panel score from 1098 (61%) through 1277 (70.94%) . Choruses scoring less than 1098 may voluntarily place themselves into this plateau.
  • Plateau A: Choruses that have not competed in any of the three most recent Fall District Chorus Contests or have an average triple panel score of less than 1098 (61%), with the exception of any chorus returning to competition after winning the International Chorus Championship.

A chapter may petition the District C&J Committee for plateau reassignment due to significant changes in the chapter. Permission to move to a lower plateau is at the sole discretion of the District C&J Committee. Administration of the plateau assignments will be handled by a coordinator appointed by the District C&J Chairman.
