donincardona Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 well, doing the proper analysis, knowing the sheets and historical trends, as well as the space/time continuum, and then taking into account the weather forecast, my potential lunch that as well as the number of diaper changes Sadie will need that weekend, I'm guesstimating 95.663. But then again it is just video and all the other stuff sounded funny a page right out of ed's playbook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like there is an interesting fight for Class A Finals. Thinking that Govies may run away with it this year. I am VERY interested to see what happens when Renegades and Kidsgrove get scores again. My guess is that C2 is a bit further ahead of CV than the scores indicate, but it could get very tight when those wild cards get thrown in during Prelims! Looks like the top Open Class spot may not be a lock either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigW Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Looks like there is an interesting fight for Class A Finals. Thinking that Govies may run away with it this year. I am VERY interested to see what happens when Renegades and Kidsgrove get scores again. My guess is that C2 is a bit further ahead of CV than the scores indicate, but it could get very tight when those wild cards get thrown in during Prelims! Looks like the top Open Class spot may not be a lock either. With C2, maybe. It's still a question of whether they can make what they have happen in terms of horns and visual to compete with CV's cleaner presentation. C2 is Markedly better than Downingtown and from what I have read Markedly better from their last performance. After a good nights sleep, I'll get my review up. Regardless of where they finish, You can't help but like the C2 kids. It's obvious they care a lot and have worked hard to make that show work the way it's meant to. They still have a lot of room for growth in visual and horns from my observation of them last night live. I didn't need a video with a rewind to hear and see that. I have an educated guess MBI is on the fringe of their score window overlapping Bucs. After seeing Bucs at Scranton, they will have to be absolutely lights out in both performance and program-wise to beat the presentation the Bucs have. Kind of like a poll where one person is 4 percent ahead with a +/- 3 percent error. I have no sadistics (Mispelling deliberate) to back up that approximate 1.5 point rule of thumb spread for margin of error. It's a gut feeling from years of observation and dealing with numbers with that kind of thing in DCA and other circuits. I claim no method.

BigW Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) I realized the reasoning behind the whole 1.5 thing. with the 100/100 scoring system like DCA uses, 1 point apart in the total caption score pretty much means there was some little thing that a judge used to differentiate the shows. Something usually minor. It's miniscule, and equals .5 difference in the total score, roughly. I know come captions are weighted more yes, but I'll let a mathmetician/sadistics person parse that more exactly. 3 points apart in the total caption score means one is defintely separated from the other, but that on any given day, maybe that can shift a fair bit and the losing group has potential to pass the other one if they get their act together and the other group stagnates or backpedals. That's where I get the 1.5 thing from. 3 points in a 200 point caption equals 1.5 total score. More than 4 points, it usually means that there's a bit more work to do to catch the other. Possible but would take some definite work. More than 10 points apart... 'you inna heap of trouble' to catch that bunch if you're that far behind. Again, just rules of thumb.

Assuming Kidsgrove will go on early with C2 becuase they weren't members last season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
