I assumed that was obvious, especially when I added the "keeping the math simple" part. Re: not every judge valuing the same thing the same way, isn't that exactly what they're supposed to do? I mean, within a reasonable margin of error, but yes, I do think every judge should value every thing roughly the same, otherwise why do we even have scores? Again, the numbers I used were purely hypothetical for the sake of discussion. That literally was not my argument in even the slightest bit, as in 100% not even in the same ballpark. I'm trying to answer the very second post in this thread, which asked what should we do if electronics make their way onto the sheets (probably under GE) and the power goes out at a stadium and a corps can't use power. Let's put my answer to that a different way. Tubas are 1/4 of the brass instruments. If any corps just decided one night not to have tubas on the field, the judges wouldn't dock the score by a quarter, they'd still evaluate the total score based on what the corps hands them. Same thing with electronics. Scores don't ever get docked. DCI uses a build-up system (gonna be pedantic like Garfield now lol) Instead, the judge will assign points based on what he sees. Some will value things over others within a margin of error. But the football field is 100 yards, the things one judge sees will not be the same thing as the other every single time Edited August 24, 2017 by Cappybara 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandandl Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) Late to the party. What video interview is being referenced and where might one now be able to see/hear it? The accusation that BD pre-taped and broadcast as if live the baritone solo on the on field podium (in Fellini?) a few years back was poopahed by several BD supporters later on DCP but it's the same corps, same issues.

There's quite a difference between DCP BD supporters and actual members who've marched the show in question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My entire point is that scores aren't docked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this threads Gar posted the video where Hopkins claims that some corps are recording/dubbing brass and playing those recordings back during performances. He also talks about what SCV was doing with mics and has a vague reference to Bluecoats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
