Ghost Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 4 minutes ago, PamahoNow said: So we come back to mingusmonk's question, Where are the examples of "chipping away" at Bluecoats' lead? In the case of Boston, starting at 3 points behind, as close as 1.6 back, and currently 2.6 back, to me, is chipping away. Any stone statue that's fairly large was not built in several weeks. Boston has time to keep gaining on the corps scoring higher than them, as do all corps. Whether corps have the shows, talent, and staff to get real close or pass corps ahead of themselves is another story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only concern about when the scored only 1.6 behind Bluecoats, it was in an event that did not have Crown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pudding Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 The spreads appear to be more or less consistent with time. I would note that as corps become more refined, and scores get closer to 100, the natural tendency will be for the spreads to shrink. The fact that the spreads are remaining steady signifies that the trailing corps are actually further behind than appears at first glance; they must not only overcome the gap, but also the momentum. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alphabetmonkey Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 In a super weird coincidence, am in Minneapolis this weekend and randomly ran into former center snare Kyle Tsuchiya - accosted him (not sure he gets a lot of that) and told him to help out the current perc crew. He just laughed. What a random occurrence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
