Fran Haring Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) That was a year where the corps were head to head all year with a couple of positions swaps near the end. I think we pushed each other so hard that we all rose to the occasion - thus the high scores. Honest to God...not kidding here....I heard talk back then that the scoresheets in 1977 were based on a 102 or 105-point system.....not the 100-point system of other years. I'm wondering if that was just an urban legend. Does anyone out there in DCP Land have access to the DCA scoring rules for that season?

Fran I remember when I came into DCA in 1973 that the scoring was based on the 105 point system. Don't remember how it worked nor did it matter much.

Don't remember how it worked nor did it matter much. Correct you are Frankie ... DCA (starting in 71 or 72) had a 5 point "penalty" bucket, where penalites were deducted from ... captions were judged the same ... the 5 points (or what was left after penalties) was then added to the score at the end ... hmmm ... now that I think of it, they should have called it a "bonus" bucket ... LOL ... not sure when it ended ... maybe someone remembers the history of the sheets ... or, can post some recaps for those years ... :-) Edited August 12, 2009 by ajlisko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF-LowBari Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 That was a year where the corps were head to head all year with a couple of positions swaps near the end. I think we pushed each other so hard that we all rose to the occasion - thus the high scores. I thought there was an unwritten rule in the late 70s that the winning DCA score had to be higher than the winning DCI score. Forget if it held true but some people swore on it. LOL and I hit the big 2-0 that August... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
