Mr.Potato.Head Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 It works the same way. A 2.5 jump should be taken with a grain of salt until those scores seem to hold. What we saw last night was outside what we had seen in just the day prior. So, if it happened in one day, then there's no reason for people to assume that it can't reverse itself. Maybe the Scout's higher score at Broken Arrow was the score that was out of whack, looking at spreads.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 BK BAC BStars and Madison have top 8 talent this year but only 1 of them is going to get the spot! I for one do not think the Blue Stars will make top eight this year. Can you imagine the general and anti-DCI posts if the same eight repeat for next year? Doesn't help sell TOC to the masses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Potato.Head Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I guess we'll see, won't we? Yep. and guess what, it doesn't really matter because the Blue Knights, Blue Stars, Boston Crusaders, and Madison Scouts all have very entertaining shows this year! The fans win this round. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 That's odd to me for people to blame the judges (the scores) for being inconsistent, and they never blame the corps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conspiracy theory......if that is true and the judges are making sure a new corps is in the top 8 this year, that is just wrong. The best 8 corps on Finals night show be in the top 8 for the year, regardless of who they are and who is on their staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexL Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Naw, if you wanted to have a good conspiracy theory, youd say scouts would get top 8 because TOC wants the top 8 'brands' in there, of which Scouts are most definitely one of the top 'brands'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbandguy Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I wish everyone would take a step back and really look at what has happened with the scores this year. For the first time that I have seen, judges are scoring based on individual shows, not based on the seasons results up to this point. Caption scores are obviously indicating that any personal bias towards a certain corps are, at least for the time being, a thing of the past. So in your opinion do we need to put an asterisk next to the scores of all the previous seasons that you have seen? I would think so if this is indeed the first time the judges are not basing their scores on "previous results" and are finally showing "no bias." WOW...what an indictment against the judges of the past... however many years you've been watching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywhopper Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I think the judges still have a certain tilts (I'm disinclined to say "bias" because I think judging is far more subjective than we like to admit--different styles of playing and marching will impress different judges differently), which you can see if you compare the average spreads that each judge gives each pair of competing corps over the season.
