DCISuperfan Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 In case the topic wasnt clear, I basically want your opinions on whether or not you think the final score, the one that sticks in everyones head, should be an average of the three finals nights. It seems to me that when we have a corps do super ultra amazing on one night and then not as well on another it diminishes the skill of the group. Look at finals 2008, Phantom just came in with a fervor and destroyed everyone on finals night, but the two nights before that BD had it in the bag. Should the scores have been averaged to give a more accurate score? It just seems that Semi Finals and Quarter Finals are a waste of time when they dont even matter that much to the top corps, it is more for the corps fighting over getting into finals. If this is the case, why even have the top ten compete? Am I even making any sense here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crfrey71 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Well, this goes back to when we use to have prelims and the top corps didn't perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllianaLancerContra Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Well, this goes back to when we use to have prelims and the top corps didn't perform. Can you elaborate a bit on this please? I am often considered a dinosaur because of my fondness for pretty much all things old-school, but this I am not familiar with, at least in the context you suggest. Thanks.

76strad Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Why? as we're taught at my school you either do it and perform or you lose, plain and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbc03 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 No. If you aren't the best corps at the World Championship finals you don't deserve the trophy. Quarters and semis aren't for deciding who wins, they are for deciding who gets in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersop Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 NO WAY. Every day on finals week is head to head. If any given corps can win on any given night ... there would be no point in even having a finals night if the final score didn't count on it's own. It's whomever wins on Saturday ... that's the World Champion. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbc03 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 While it is extremely rare for the corps that won semis to lose finals, doing this would make finals really boring. In 08 it would have been mathematically unfeasible for anyone other than BD to win. Same goes for most every other year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
