Perhaps we should consider it again or 14. I know it would make for a longer evening but it would have been nice in 2017 to see Mandarins "Inside the Ink" and Academy "By a Hare" and this year's corps also. Twelve is fine. This isn’t the NHL where nearly everyone makes the playoffs. Anything beyond 12 smells like a participation trophy. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it would make for a longer evening but it would have been nice in 2017 to see Mandarins "Inside the Ink" and Academy "By a Hare" and this year's corps also. Part of the problem, besides the obvious logistics argument, is the idea of "give them an inch and they'll want a mile." If we increase Finals to 15 corps, pretty soon there'll be a push for 17 corps in Finals like in the old Semi-Finals format. Or even more. It's a rabbit hole that I'm glad was avoided in January. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing all the corps from the viewpoint of the people in the stands (I don't pay much attention to the close-up cameras), I often can't understand what the judges are seeing and hearing - that I'm not. I don't understand why there are field judges. Even "America's Got Talent" judges aren't up on the stage, walking around, looking at everyone from every angle. Broadway shows that win the Tony awards weren't judged from the stage. Seems to me the most equitable judging where they see and hear what "The People" are seeing and hearing would be to put all of the judges in the stands, spread out from side to side but up toward the top - the view that we get from the High Cam. Puzzling. Prepare to be tarred and feathered... I mostly agree with you, but I have a family to think of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
