Public marketing and seasonal content are managed separately from competition delivery.
Each area is modeled as application state and APIs, not plugin configuration hidden in WordPress.
Parity-first rebuild
Competition platform, content hub, and reporting in one product
The rebuild combines the public championship site, school onboarding, quest delivery, reporting, and checkout flows into a single platform.
What this rebuild covers
The live WordPress site is being replaced with explicit product modules and route-level ownership.
Band leaders manage students, messages, seats, and reporting from one workspace.
Each area is modeled as application state and APIs, not plugin configuration hidden in WordPress.
Students get a dedicated portal with enrolled stages, quest history, and progress.

Competition shape
5 bands and 4 stages are scaffolded in shared contracts, the API, and the web app.
Students sit quests under exam conditions; ranking is based on school and year-group performance.
Advancement is based on top band-level performers within each school and country cohort.
Only invited students progress; schools must allocate paid seats before the semi-final window opens.
Finalists are selected from semi-final ranking snapshots and confirmed by platform administrators.

The public story matters, but the rebuild is driven by operations and reporting for schools.
Aisha Rahman
The weekly structure is what works. Students know exactly when they need to be ready, and the reporting gives me enough detail to intervene early.

Parents like the celebration stories. Teachers need the system side to be as polished as the public-facing side.

The current site proves demand, but the rebuild needs cleaner seat management and role boundaries. That is where we lose admin time today.
