Jehensley Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) Proposal At a predetermined week before the last month of shows, allow a corps to make a one time, up to, 8 caption change. Corps would still be bound by the max Points at that time in the season. Rationale Corps have been known to massively change thier show after bad critiques from the the judges in the early season. This would be reflected by a one time total makeover of captions if a corps needed it. I can see this being utilized by directors who are either new and inexperienced and not using the sophisticated corps tracking software the Knights have employed in picking captions. After a few weeks of playing, there may be a need for a group at the bottom of the leaderboard to reboot. I do not see this being used by the corps who are already scoring at the tops of the rankings. This would give a young director a chance to get back into the game and make the season more enjoyable. I would suggest that the week be 4-5 weeks before championships. This would give the director a chance to reboot, but not impact the final weeks with corps jumping up from the bottom with a complete change in the final few weeks of a season Impact: The Caption Change Window would be adjusted to allow 8 captions in one day, One change per week. This is to my knowledge, something that can be done in the current scripting. Submitted by: James Hensley, California Knights Edited August 27, 2011 by Jehensley Quote
Galen Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 That's correct, it could be done in the current scripting. I think if that's going to be done, the most logical place to have that occur would be immediately following the regional championships mid-season. Quote
gcurrier Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 hey now! I am far from the only corps using databases LOL and mine is FAR from sophisticated! LOL HOWEVER, I agree with the proposal. Quote
StarOrg Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 hey now! I am far from the only corps using databases LOL and mine is FAR from sophisticated! LOL HOWEVER, I agree with the proposal. Gary....are you using a SQL database engine? haha... Quote
hostrauser Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Gary....are you using a SQL database engine? haha... Wow, that's a lot more convenient than my system! (I have various corps' recap scores tattooed on 101 midgets who I can summon at will). Quote
