I meant.... Put a tie-breaking system in place, and continue to educate judges. I shouldn't reply to posts directly after waking. My brains are always a bit contwangled early morning (for me at least). Some folks get in a tissy about individual vs. ensemble this or sub-caption that. I thought championship scores were right on the target. Ties happen! Folks don't like them because they prefer a definite placement.
The solution should be two-fold, place a tie-breaking system in place, and continue to ramp up judges training. The details, philosophical or otherwise, I'll leave up to the rest of you guys.
At the SWPR there were facility people holding back folks during performances, and the announcer made a few rather polite announcements about respecting performers. I would assume that would also be the case at World Championships.
I was mildly pleased by that. Speaking of pizza, my buddy asked what happened to the pepperoni when they pulled the floor over. So, I guess you WERE right the first time...
