HockeyDad Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I've been reading with interest the various show reflections. Along with that, the freaking out by some about lower than desired scores. Scouts, Spirit to name a few. And the replies that it's the first show, calm down. The thought that creeps into my mind is that evil curse: slotting. Yeah your corps is gonna get better......but so is every other corps. Gone are the "on any given night" times of old. Unfortunate, but I can understand the freaking out reactions.

FTNK Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Slotting is a word people use when the corps the marched for/like/have a kid in doesn't score well. I think overall DCI judges do a good job of ranking corps. This first week or two of the season and always interesting, because it's when all the off-season hype meets the reality of not actually being that good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It usually rears it's ugly head in early July. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a hot mess with little to no accountability . it was interesting for the sudience I suppose but made no sense to a corps. Horrible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the west coast, Blue Devlis three points ahead of SCV, and SCV five points ahead of Blue Knights. On the other coast, Phantom scoring in the same range as SCV with CC and Cadets ahead by two or three points. Everyone else falling in line behind these guys in very predictable fashion. These headlines could have been written any of the past few years. The only shake-up over the last three years has been Cavs falling a bit behind their typical placement. It is a bit of a yawner for many fans...and not primarily because "the corps they marched for/like/have a kid in doesn't score well." It's natural to want variety, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 right no, the only show you can look at realistically for numbers is the west Coast show as it has a full panel. any shows with just 5 judges is going to be missing captions, and that can skew things wildly.
