Howdy Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) I am wondering how not judging the last two minutes of the show might help DCI corps become far more entertaining. Would this bring more people into the stands? This could also help judges by giving them more time to get their evaluations and scores right.

Would this bring more people into the stands? This could also help judges by giving them more time to get their evaluations and scores right. are you advocating adding an additional 2 minutes, or use the current time allowances and just remove the last 2 minutes from judging? I like the sentiment, but DCI won't go for longer shows, and the alternative is only judging a corps for 9 minutes...(or 9:30...not exactly sure what program length is) and for those that are gonna red score Mikey just because he's Mikey...grow up...really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie1223 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I'm wondering why people feel shows that aren't judged would be better than shows that are judged... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Tanji Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Very intriguing idea actually. That is the way it was back when shows were 13 minutes long. Corps would really let it rip once they heard that gun go off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skewerz Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Who says the judges didn't get their evaluations right? No. HH I was the first to say they deserved to win..they played to the judging sheets, and they did it just about as well as it could be done. I just prefer the judging sheets more closely reflected the majority of fans' sheets...then they'd be playing to the fans, and not just the judges... but..that's not the intent of this topic....

Howdy Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) I would like to see two more minutes added back into the show. For the last two minutes of the show this would give corps a chance to perform what they [ and their fans ] want to vs. what they think the judges want.

May I be so bold as to articulate more precisely what I think it is you really want: Retro shows. Two unjudged minutes won't get you that. Nor should it.
