Tez Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 If there was one advantage to the tic system it was that there was no room for opinion, (supposedly). The "supposedly" is right..... It seems very much an opinion on what is a tick and what is not. There has never been any aspect of any performance that was 100% undoubtedly perfect.... so what actually constitutes a tick? That is why I think an overall build up scoring system is much moer fair, because it allows for "gray areas"... not just "black and white."

noneofyourbusiness Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 the oakland crusaders never won high drums. they did not perform at finals in 1977; therefore, they did not win the high percussion award. OMG OK, "The Oakland Crusaders beat every other drum corps in percussion at a DCI Championships event, while the corps placed 13th overall". Better?

robotio Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 OMG OK, "The Oakland Crusaders beat every other drum corps in percussion at a DCI Championships event, while the corps placed 13th overall". Better? slightly more accurate. the corps actually placed 15th overall. the oakland crusdaers had the highest score within the percusion caption at dci prelims in 1977. not a 'championship' event. a preliminary event leading to a championship event.

BOBSMYTH Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 If there was one advantage to the tic system it was that there was no room for opinion, (supposedly). Except for the judges opinion of what qualified as a tic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
