Yup. It almost happened in 2016 too. Don't underestimate BD on finals night.

I hear you...and I loved BD's show tonight.

But Vanguard is head and shoulders above the competition. 1.5 pts would require complete disaster on SCV's part for BD to catch up.

The # 1 job of the judges is to rank the corps.

...and to rank them based on the performance that night, not some long-held grudge!!  We only grow and preserve the activity by doing so.

I was mainly talking about Colorguard. Devils are concerned with Bloo at this point.

Right now, Boston has the lead and will win the caption if they get...Snip!

I like smart people.  I love you.  :inlove:

Anything having to do with math and DCI scoring/awards makes my head hurt.  Just tell me who won and I'm happy.

And yet you refused to say more when I asked. Wanna put an accusation about a judge's integrity into print, or just beat around the bush some more?

They were discussing the guard caption, not overall placement. BD can still win guard and has been pretty deadly in that caption on Saturdays.

As the evening progressed, more and more young folks sat in our section (444).  Most appeared to be MMs seat slumming.

If they were in charge of judging the performances and if a Corps put together 12 mins of totally choreographed Hip-Hop dance w/percussion, that Corps would win, based on the reaction of those around me.

The last time BD lost Guard on Finals night was in 2007.

BD 4th in brass, 4th in Color Guard, 2nd in Drums, 2nd in Visual and 3rd in GE.  Had it not been for the terrible drum score for Bluecoats the Blue Devils would have been 3rd.

They earned that drum score.  At least they're consistent.
