SPINCYCLE Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 WOW....you will let up will you. Your comments are SO personal. Maybe the visual judges threw them a bone because they worked their butts off this past week and re-staged major portions of the show?? COULD BE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPINCYCLE Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 COULD BE ooo and by the way not personal at all..no more personal that people making extreme comments on vocals in shows..shakos..etc etc...and as I stated.........Spirit has a great drum line and a good brass line!!!!!!!!!!!

prodigal bari Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Combined total was in performance order, but if you look at individual captions over the course of the entire prelims, placement was all over the place, so I can't but into the implied "slotting" conspiracy of that statement. Looking over the recap I can for once say that I can see justifications in most of the numbers. In fact I might have had the spread between Troopers and Pacific Crest closer in visual ensemble, especially in the excellence subcaption, but with Troopers still up.Also as a side note, anyone who is talking about sending a message to DCI (I would think something directed at John Philips rather than the DCI office would get better recognition if not any actual help) would also make sure they communicate directly with the caption heads at the Troopers and make sure that they too have taken the correct measures to flag potential judging inconsistencies. I had an op to talk to some of them. They are; believe me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roosevelt Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I posted this on another thread: OK I did some math.Here is the average of scores so far under the current format: Academy: 75.725 (San Antonio) + 77.0 (Atlanta) = 152.725 / 2 (number of regionals attended) = 76.363 Pacific Crest: 75.1 (Long Beach) + 75.15 (San Antonio) + 77.2 (Atlanta) = 227.45 / 3 (number of regionals attended) = 75.817 Troopers: 73.25 (Denver) + 76.425 (San Antonio) + 76.425 (Atlanta) = 226.1 / 3 (number of regionals attended) = 75.367 So the final raking under this system are as follows have Academy above PC and Troopers because they stayed at home. Never ind the fact that Academy has NEVER beaten PC all season long. Never mind the fact that Academy has lost to troopers 4 times this season and beaten them once. This is a perfect example of how some corps can be rewarded by staying at home and not touring. PC and Troopers would have to both beat Academy by around 3 points in order to go on after them at quarter under this seeding format. Q-finals seeding should be an average of san antonio, atlanta, & allentown. End of story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
