ftwdrummer Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Exactly, although this year, for this first time, Guardians actually are going to championships. Oh cool! Good for them. Geez, talk about a corps that's come out of nowhere quickly...they were a first-year SoundSport squad, what, four years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRASSO Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) No he didn't: he wasn't comparing scores year-to-year, he was comparing spreads: how far was each corps from the leader (regardless of what the leader was scoring). However, it appears that both of you make the mistake of using an exact date in year-to-year comparisons, which introduces other flaws because: July 16, 2015 was the 30th day of the 2015 season, with 23 days remaining until Finals, but . . . July 16, 2016 was the 24th day of the 2016 season, with 28 days remaining until Finals. True enough.... although once we factor in that few Corps start on the same date each season ( either themselves, or vs. others start dates ), and some go more vs. full panels, then half panels, and that more than half the Corps will be finished by the Quarters ( let alone " Finals "), the exercise becomes even more meaningless than it already is, imo....oh well, it does help us pass the time, if nothing else.
