byline Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 It's killing me to watch all this by blog and FN from Hong Kong while this is all going on in my home state. Bloomington and Indy are fantastic this time of year. I know. I'm from Indiana, so theoretically you'd think championship week would be right in my own backyard, but nooooooo! I had to marry a Canadian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byline Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hypothetic situation ... let's say "Corps A" has been placing/scoring high enough to be considered a "lock" for Saturday night all season long. But then, on either Quarters or Semi's, they have one of "those" shows -- during a spinning box or a tight follow-the-leader move in the opener, someone falls and many others join the pile ... the whole corps feeds off of that distraction and has a terrible show the rest of the way, missing forms, blowing cut-offs, dropping equipment, losing all of their GE moments on top of all of the performance flubs.Would the judges give them "a little credit" for their scores coming into Quarters/Semi's and score them near where they "should" have scored, or would they drop them like a rock?? What seeding would they have to have coming into the show in order to not fall too far and still advance?? Does it matter if it's Quarters or Semi's??? Just something to discuss while waiting for scores to arrive all night ... Ya know, this isn't a cakewalk. It's a competition for a reason. Judges are supposed to judge the performance on the field, not some "ideal" of what the performance was supposed to be. That's why the "any given night" aspect should apply. Yet I wonder if what you described might not be more the norm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
