BRASSO Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Thank you - I still am wondering if there is a committee or person that reviews judges scoring. God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NR_Ohiobando Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) Since the corps set the guidelines for the judges, doesn't that mean that a majority of them likes the kind of show that BD wins with? "likes"? Well of course, that's a given. I mean, I like the BD show. I can appreciate what they're presenting. I especially love their commitment to providing extremely slow tempo transitions and not relying on squat-fest for GE. I'm just pointing out that they've clearly figured out a system that works more consistently than anything anyone else is doing. And unfortunately no one else is willing to change the game in order to beat them. Plus, just because I like the BD show, it doesn't mean I like it the most. It doesn't even mean I like it the most out of any show in DCI history. They haven't gotten a bronze medal since 2006. If you advertised the DCI tour as "Everyone tries to knock Blue Devils out of 1st or 2nd place for 3 months", it would be accurate. DCI isn't even a FFA competition anymore. It's just a bunch of corps beating each other up until the end of the season when everyone wonders "I wonder if someone will beat the Blue Devils?"

Cadets98 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Funny how so many people cry foul over slotting and then as soon as one judge breaks the mold, people point fingers at the judge and call them incompetent. Make up your minds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make up your minds. Exactly!!! Nothing wrong with judges calling it as they see it. They aren't machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsnare Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Well, two of the obvious reasons for their success is BDB abd BDC - quit the farm system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilme861 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Everyone remember a week or two ago when Bluecoats were bringing up the rear of the pack... It's amazing how many people who were jumping ship then and how many have come back aboard now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasgre2000 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I agree with most of Mr. kennedy's scores ... but I think he scored the Cavies way too low. I admit to being a Cavies fanboy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandonovan Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I honestly would like to see the Blue Devils to fall to 3rd or 4th in the future to see them come back the next season to set records... But hey, that is just my view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
