I wonder if we kept 99.65 but gave that score to Crown, willing to bet this wouldn't be an issue. I don't know that it's anything about BD. Plenty of people made the exactly the same comments about Cavaliers 'and Cadets' 99.15. And about all the caption 20s that have been handed out over the years. If judges run out of room, it just means they need to manage their numbers so that they can award the top unit the spread they deserve. BD 2014 was a great corps with a great show, but they'd have been just as great (and maybe gotten a bit bigger spread to Bloo) if the judging community had calibrated lower and awarded a 98.65 on finals night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the other 99s and the 98.8 SCV got in 1989 (the whole top 7 were overstored in '89) were too high too. BD 2014 was, IMO, the greatest drum corps performance ever, so relative to the 99.15s it deserved the 99.65. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When two other corps in different ball parks also have record high placement scores then yeah, there might of been a little problem with numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there you go from the get go. And Carolina Crown broke the 5th place record. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barneveld Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Before I get the lecture about not comparing scores between shows......... I understand that. But since someone took their time and effort to produce this info, I felt it was my duty to share it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say I find it interesting that BD, SCV and Bluecoats took a couple of days to just rehearse and when they finally had a show they increased their score by 3-4 points, Crown took 5 days and only increased 1.5 points.
