DCP Polls

[fifer]

The recent “best of” polls got me wondering how much of each vote is based on unbiased, thoughtful recollection of the actual performances in question versus how much of each vote is based on personal opinion of the shows in question, personalities involved with the corps, styles of music performed, personal corps affiliation, etc.

We question, at times, whether judges can be unbiased and hope that their training makes them able to look beyond personal preferences in determining a score. On the other hand, most of us on DCP are not trained to look at things so dispassionately and impartially as is expected from the judging community.

So, on an average, what percent of each vote on the typical DCP Poll do you think is based on personal preferences versus educated, unbiased opinions? How much stock do you put in DCP Poll results?

the answer is yes.

[Michael Boo]

the answer is yes.

Sorry, Jeff. The answer is "maybe."

How long before we have a poll about this poll?

PS: Upon further rumination, I've concluded the answer is, "It depends."

DCP needs more longitudinal studies; twenty year, double-blind, preferably.

(Oh, and I voted with my heart on this one.)
