Granny Smith Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 June 29th my beloved Troopers score 66.60. TWO weeks later they score 67.10 for a grand total increase of .5 points. A random sampling of other corps in the same amount of time: Blue Devils: +8.35 Crown: +5.75 Crossmen: +7.95 Scouts: +6.85 Academy: +7.25 Pioneer: +7.05 I need someone to help me settle down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Smith Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 If you read my post you will know my problem. You need to at least dump that first score of the season for the Troopers. It's a wonky number and an anomaly that completely skews their numbers. I would contend that the first few scores for any corps are useless since everyone (judges included) are getting their legs underneath them.

I would contend that the first few scores for any corps are useless since everyone (judges included) are getting their legs underneath them. I don't see the problem. It doesn't matter at this stage. They've improved since the first show a tenth more than Madison has and under two points less than Crossmen or Academy. They have a great show. Things will become more clear for them and everyone else this weekend. I haven't looked at the spreads, but spreads are more important that scores. Are they making a lot of changes right now?

henry7184 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) I think I'm pretty sure you aren't reading my posts. I just think it's too soon to worry. If you throw out the first score for them, you throw it out for everyone else and the result is still the same. They have a great show. Maybe their best in years. Their overall improvement seems to be in line with most other groups, regardless of their number or whether or not you throw out the first show. http://ascendperformingarts.org/scores/ That is the BEST website for scores. They have season summary, head-to-head and a bunch of different options. I don't have time to look at the head-to-head between Troopers and those they have seen this year, but maybe you should check it out. Very cool site, and if the spreads between them and their competitors haven't changed much then it may put your mind at ease.

IllianaLancerContra Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I suppose it could be because the judges don't like the uniforms and are basing the scoring on that opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the uniforms are probably the most awful I have ever seen, but I love the show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Smith Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 I essentially threw out the entire first week for the various corps I listed above. I started on June 29th and ended on the July 11th and did a random selection of corps from the top, the middle and bottom. The Troopers' show has been flat for two weeks. Their show has improved by a half of a point in two weeks. Let me repeat: in TWO weeks their score has not improved. Can you explain to me how that is when every other corps I checked has had significant changes in two weeks. P.S. Don't tell me not to worry. It's what I do and I'm very good at it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
