whew...finally made it through Cavies without any problems....
-
Apparently there is a God... It didn't skip once during Madison Scouts.
except for the very end...I got to see the guys crying about 6 times before the feed froze...
-
Just watched Boston's last 10 seconds five times...then the feed froze...time to pause and play again...
-
lotta looping and pixilating in Boston's show...
-
On a side note. Even if there are issues going on with DCI's end of things. I would highly recommend running the stream and that be the only thing you are doing. Close out every other program you are running so that your browser is the only thing going.
that's why I'm sitting here with two laptops.. :-(

my multi is still freezing and looping...and sometimes skipping...I think I just watched the same 8 bars from Blue Knights 5 times in a row...make that six... :-(
-
Ditto. I'm constantly doing damage control, it feels. Pause..... Play...... Pause....... Play. :angry:/>
at least I'm not alone...
-
Every few minutes I keep getting a message that the video I am watching is not available...that I should check back later. I have to close the window..pause..then play again to get back to live...and every once in a while the picture starts to break up...and it keeps repeating sections...like rewinding a few seconds....

It's 5:36 EST and all I'm getting is the DCI logo moving around...should I be getting any streaming? I am logged in....and the counter is counting...but just a rotating Championships logo...
-
Yes, but placement and reception on the nights prior can affect finals night audience feedback and corps performance, and therefore scores...
Let's hope so....
-
There's a momentum factor to consider.
yes...but still it all comes down to the numbers
-
Now we can figure out who's gonna win it all....I don't follow the judges enough to know who favors whom....

You do know that there is a battle to get into finals, don't you?
There's also a reverse effect going on to who the judges are today. If a corps is getting their best judges in prelims, that means they won't in finals.
I don't believe any of the judges get to judge twice.
I do...believe it or not...and this panel may help some corps get into finals...but the comment I responded to referenced Cadets and SCV..so we're talking already in finals...not getting there...but doesn't the score and placement on Saturday night hinge only on the judges for Saturday night (except for maybe the caption awards)...which would mean today's judges have no impact on Saturday nights results...right?

< / thread >
such a great show...one of my all time favorites....was that also the malaguena year? If not...that was a
great one also...
and while I echo alot of the sentiments on here...I never really saw Bridgemen as a comedy corp...I saw them more as entertaining/fun although they had some elements of comedy....VK...now those were comedy shows...

-----------------------------
This panel bodes well for SCV and Cadets at the top!!!!
won't matter...only panel that matters is finals...whoever the judges favor there will win...that's why I favor a championship of averaged scores...levels the playing field a bit...
-
Is TOC judged with the same sheets and the same judges as DCI?
-
Ok all....this idea maybe really unpopular but here it goes.
Currently...the caption awards are decided by averaging the scores in the captions over the course of all the shows during championship week. So..using world class as an example...the best hornline award goes to the corps that has the best average hornline score from Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights shows. If there is a tie..the award goes to the highest scoring hornline on Saturday night.
so....
to prevent any renegade judges....should the same be applied to the overall score/results? It just seems silly to me that if corps are really close in scoring..that an individual judge or judging panel has so much control of the overall final results to the seasons competition.
What if a particular corps is in first going in to finals night...and their weakness is visual...and a judge that historically scores this particular corps low in visual is on the panel...how fair or right is that?
Thoughts?
Is part of the caption scoring this way to allow for lower overall corps to win a caption...actually,,,has any corps ever won a caption but missed finals? In 2004, my daughter marched with the Lehigh Valley Knights Guard (Div. III)...they had the highest guard score in prelims & semis (and pretty much all season), but their overall score was too low to perform in finals, so someone else...not as good as them...won the guard caption award. When I marched All Age corps in 1983, the Rhode Island Matadors killed everyone in guard that season, but their overall score was too low to move into finals. DCA expanded finals one spot so the Matadors could perform and get their guard award....which is fair?
As for the overall scores...I'm kinda liking what TOC did...average the whole season and add the finals score to that.
-
Requirement that judges recuse themselves from judging the work of their personal friends and/or co-workers at DCI, band, and WGI programs.
Then again, that would require going out and replacing about half of the judging roster.
It is DC International...maybe all the finals judges should be from abroad...not having seen or judged any of the finalist corps up to that point...
-
It's factored by averaging the scores from all toc shows then adding the last night scores. After all the math. Crown was the champion. And took home the cup.
I had forgotten that...thanks for the clarification...
-
Carolina crown won the toc cup!
wasn't it a tie?
-
I know, right? I had to go back and watch the hi cam for several ends of performances. They totally missed SCV's last push and the "wormhole" in Crown's show. I was so ticked I actually yelled at my computer...
sound crapped out after Phantom too...low volume and reverb from the stadium that were not issues for the first two corps...very poor streaming last night...Finals better be alot better
-
And, the idea that it is 6$ a month is a farse. The FN offers VODs/Live footage for less than 3 months.
really? so if I want to watch say...semis..or even Allentown this coming November 2013, they won't be there? My subscription is thru May 2014....

the panels are different from prelims to semis to finals...aren't they?
-
How 'bout Finals be judged by an entirely new slate of judges that have not judged any of the corps all season...preferably not even seen any of the corps...and have the corps perform in a random order (because we all know they are somewhat slotted based on their performance order)...

Finals wasn't through the Fan Network...it was through DCIFinals.com. You had to pay extra in addition to your Fan Network membership fee to get finals...I believe Finals will be at DCIFinals.com for this week only...I think?
