hostrauser Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 First off, the annual disclaimers... My rankings are designed to look more at trends than fluke performances. A corps dropping three spots at one show might be a fluke performance. A corps dropping three spots in my rankings (considering all their shows that week) probably isn't. These rankings are compiled based on what each corps did score or would have scored on every day of the preceding week (Monday through Sunday). THIS IS NOT A STRAIGHT SCORE COMPARISON. Go to the Blue Knights' page if you want that. THIS IS NOT BASED SOLELY ON EACH CORPS' MOST RECENT SCORE. Just because a corps had the highest score in all of DCI on Saturday does not necessarily mean they will be at the top of the rankings (particularly if they scored lower earlier in the week). SHOW SCORES FROM A PARTICULAR DAY CAN BE ADJUSTED. Judging inflation is taken into account, if the numbers bear it out (see also: the infamous "west coast bump"). For example, Corps A at show X on Friday outscores both Corps B and Corps C (who were at show Y on Friday) by more than a point. However, on Saturday when they all perform together at show Z, Corps B is 1.0 ahead of Corps A and Corps C is only 0.1 behind. Chances are show X's scores were either too high or show Y's scores were too low, and the scores might be adjusted for ALL corps at either show. The formula is based on seven-days worth of performances. On days when a corps does not perform, they will receive a "ghost score" based on what the other corps they had been in direct competition with most recently scored. All scores are weighted. Real scores are weighted 100%, ghost scores are weighted at 50%. The two days each week with the most corps performances (Thr-Sun) are weighted 200%. "Super-regionals" like San Antonio and Allentown are (will be) weighted 300%. These rankings are NOT a prediction of future performance, nor are they representative of a corps' entire season of work. They are stand-alone rankings based upon the most recent week; so programming changes in shows during the course of the season can lead to "hot" and "cold" streaks in the rankings. Lastly... Don't like 'em? Don't read 'em. Not that hard. And now, without further ado...

hostrauser Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 I like how the CROSSMEN have has 2 shows.a 68.00 and 67.9 but you have them ranked at a 67.45. As I stated, it is a ranking for the entire week. It is to be expected that the Crossmen would have scored lower had they performed on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Also, there was a DCI-wide scoring trend drop from Thursday into Friday. also last show was SAT. a 67.9 to Spirits 67.1but you have Spirit ranked over them . there two scores are a 66.0 and a 67.1 try another method. ?????????? The show Spirit performed at Monday appeared to be scored too low compared to those corps' performances before and after it, and thus was adjusted upwards. Based on the scoring trends throughout DCI for the weekend I calculated that Spirit would have outscored the Crossmen on every day up until Saturday. As I also stated, these rankings are not based simply on each corps' most recent showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7567BC Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Do you also do rankings for the NCAA BCS? So how does a corps who has had one show, scored a 75, get a 74.75??? You use terms like "appeared", "would have". I just don't get this ranking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
