Sorry, I should've said "the performance captions," as in everything that falls under the "visual" section of the sheet (basically, not ge) and which is primarily based on how it is performed (look at the language on the sheets). Visual GE is not one of the performance captions, and it is by far the visual caption most focused on design (although obviously performance is a huge part of it). It just makes no sense to cherry pick design as the problem, while praising individual performance, when clearly design was the area in which the corps performed the most strongly, and performance captions is where it lost. So yes, while I agree design can make a difference in all the captions, the fact that the most design oriented caption was the strongest one makes it hard to swallow that design was the problem.
