ftwdrummer Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Name/Corps represented: Steven Silverberg, Texas Zephyrs Clarification: Open/A Class Championships Scoring In Season XXIII, there were issues implementing the early Open/A Class championships. I'm not up on the details of what those were, but for prelims nearly everyone's GE went over 40, presumably due to how the numbers were being sampled/generated (attempting to use Finals numbers, I believe). This was mostly fixed for Open/A finals, but there were issues there as well (running the numbers for Finals, if I recall; initially the recap only had ten corps). It's almost certainly way too early to be thinking about it (what with the season not happening until January), but I believe this should be looked into sooner rather than later, so we can have everything squared away before the season starts.

StarOrg Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I think it was handled well which is why I brought it up before finals week started. If we want to go back to a time when we did Class A / Open / World prelims and finals on the same nights that is an option. That has been done before in the past. For non-live seasons its a no-brainer since scores are known each class prelims/final could be on any night using real scores. For live seasons its different. This year for Class A and Open we had prelims scores happening on a non final week night (with some generated scores on 8/3) and then finals was scores from Thursday night prelims. I have this suggestion for LIVE seasons scoring and this way we get the most of real scoring and not generated. Let me know what you think: DCI Thursday night Prelims - Class A / Open / World Prelims (all 3) DCI Friday night Semis - Class A / Open Finals and World Semis DCI Saturday night Finals - World Finals The reason I put Class A and Open finals on Friday night is most corps will perform with scores as most of the captions we select are for corps in the top 25. There were only 2 corps we could select from that did not make semi-finals, Jersey Surf #28 and Pioneer #29. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftwdrummer Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 I could support that idea for handling live seasons. Kudos to whichever corps gets to performs twice on Friday first (if we keep Open/A competing in World Prelims). The only reason I asked for the clarification was because there were issues generating the scores last year (for whatever reason). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcurrier Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) as long as finals scores are based off real scores for all 3 divisions in a live season, i don't care if its from Allentown on--but I agree as Kevin said during the season--for championship of any of them they need to be live scores (besides the obvious need for some captions to be generated at world finals) in none live seasons, I dont care if they all end up generated, makes it more exciting LOL as a matter of fact maybe nonlive seasons should end up generated scores Edited August 13, 2015 by gcurrier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarOrg Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 in none live seasons, I dont care if they all end up generated, makes it more exciting LOL as a matter of fact maybe nonlive seasons should end up generated scores You make a good point here on non-live seasons since scores are known. Have to think on that. I guess what you mean is that Saturday night finals scores would all be generated based on real scores. I think this needs to have more discussion and a clear path so it's documented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hostrauser Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I was under the impression that ALL championship-week shows for non-live season were generated, to avoid the predictability of just having an "automatic" champion. My plan for the upcoming off-season is definitely to use generated scores based off the real scores for your corps/year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
