Yes, and the one who often scores Cavies guard lower than her peers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it's her. Although BD doesn't win every caption all the time she judges. 2016 Houston CG Caption comes to mind. Think she had Bloo over BD. There are other instances too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you had to phrase that so carefully is just hilarious. I think she's Scott's biggest fan.

When Torchia has them in first, it’s deserved Edited July 20, 2018 by Cappybara 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really just a different shirt color would do it. Even during the video with the explanation, I still had trouble picking out which one was him from all the other fights going on. Maybe that will come as they continue refining. Yes i agree, i think the same thing too.. he really need defining. well i hope they give him some piece of clothing eventually. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Torchia has them in first, it’s deserved Ehhhh.... that's a bit of a stretch. BD's guard is often outstanding; however, Ms. Torchia should approach seeing BD without the preconceived notion of: "ohh... well... BD has a dominance in colorguard that not even Crown... " She - and all judges - should approach every corps without some slant that is awarded a group who has won in the past. The past is PAST. Judge these corps based on TODAY'S performance, and let "8 of 10 Zingali awards" be ####. Those awards were given to a different corps. Frankly, when we as a community accept this "slanted" adjudication, we're spitting in the face of young men & women whose hard work is getting 4 place because... well... SORRY... you're not Ms. Torchia's favorite, and you haven't won in the past... or you aren't his/her friend or buddy in the BOA / WGI / etc.. world... so you get 4th. PHEWWW. Okay. Deep breathe... I can't help but get on a soapbox when it comes to this topic!!! Edited July 20, 2018 by BostonLUck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you’re saying and I agree judges should judge without preconceived notions.. but I think I must’ve missed the part where Torchia apparently judges all 3 nights in Indianapolis. Unless you’re insinuating that all judges have unjustly put BD 1st in guard this past decade Edited July 20, 2018 by Cappybara 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
