"Spring Training Update" from the Cadets FB page:

 

"We're WELCOMING HOME all these Cadets who haven't necessarily felt like....."

 I think the point is that it is difficult to determine the difference of .1 verses .3. Ordinals would allow judges just to rank them in order of excellence 

Maybe, but it removes the reality that some groups are farther ahead of other groups. One group might be a little better than the group behind them, but another might be a lot better than the group behind them.

Yup for sure. On the flip side it also elimates a judges putting in such big gaps that they single handily swing the overall competition results ridiculously

That it would. But I'd rather find some other way of dealing with outliers like that rather then taking away credit for achievement. Not to mention those are not too common.

Honestly, I thought the vic firth video was the most impressive I've seen so far. That'll compete nicely if they can get it clean. If the rest if the corps is like that the "top 6" better watch out. It's gonna be a good summer.
