Well, now that we've seen half of the top 8 compete head 2 head in the west (BD, Cavs, PR, SCV) and the other half head 2 head in the east (Crown, Cadets, Bloo, Boston).......
They will all compete together in San Antonio soon......
What can we expect in terms of scoring?
Example....if the Cadets were competing in Denver last night instead of in Florida, would they have taken 3rd?
I know I cant say the criteria would be judged differently, because obviously its not...but would they have gotten a score, say, 1 point higher or lower than what they got last night?
How do y'all think everyone will stack up to each other when they all compete on the same field, on the same night, in front of the same audience, and most importantly, the same judging panel?
Do you really think, that if Crown keeps doing what they're doing, that they could end up taking 3rd in S.Antonio?
Also, a lot of people on this forum like to talk about the Cavs, and how they're show isn't good enough to beat BD, and that even though they can run a very clean show, that they could peak too early, and give way to other corps who have a lot more potential to clean up and eventually surge ahead of them in Bloomington........
In other words.........
After last night's breakthrough performance.........
Do you really think Crown could get 2nd at Finals?
I am not even going to predict that maybe they can win it all, because I dont think Blue Devils are going to lose this year.....
But realistically.......
Do you think Crown can take 2nd at finals? They only scored 1 point below Cavs last night....and yes, was diff judging panel......
If all the corps competed together last night in front of the same judging panel, do you think the ranking placements would essentially be the same?
So two questions to ponder there.
1) Will Cadets and Crown end up finishing below SCV and PR, because maybe their show was judged....in all the subjectivity judging has.....was the show judged easier? harder?
and
2) Will this be the year Crown breaks into the top 2 or 3 at finals?
