Percussion is usually the culprit. Half points in the subcaptions will do it since they go to the thousandth place on decimals now. Some people don't like the idea of those half points but percussion has gotten ridiculously competitive that it's very much needed. I personally think that, in percussion, the top 6 six corps are all as good as the top 3 corps from just 10 years ago, but that's my personal opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappybara Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I think the margin is actually .0125 but DCI's recaps just round it up to .013 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Guns Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 SCV has one more shot to get BD tomorrow night. If they don't they won't get another shot at my Devils until Buffalo. They perform different nights at Allentown. Do it up Devils!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRapp Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I know it's the luck of the draw but it's just wrong that Boston wasn't there tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purpose is to avoid ties within subcaptions. This is why numbers now often end in .x38 or .x88 - it's supposed to be a rounding of .x375/.x875 to the nearest thousandth. 2 minutes ago, wilme861 said: Percussion is usually the culprit.

Not a major difference between BD & SCV That's assuming the BD sit on their assses and do nothing! Edited July 30, 2017 by Ghost 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
