I'm far from OCD but, Lord please, let them make that last placement of those things clean tomorrow.  They've got EVERY single placement good enough for me (even the 'disunity' one looks right to my eye) except that last one.  The one between the 30 and 40 is almost always off kilter just a bit.   When they go to cover them, I'm thinking "fix it fix it fix it."  

I'm starting to think they do it intentionally just to annoy me.

DCI scoring system is just baloney.  Why not call it what is is-- a ranking system?

It's both, but judges are indeed told that their first priority is to rank the corps, i.e., to make some hard choices. It's not perfect, but it's not baloney either.

They did this the first time FREE came to DCI too.  They'd been asked by FREE for 'a few volunteers' and the entire corps pitched in.

That’s why I said once again. Allentown, 2015, one of those moments you don’t want to forget.

Someone do the math on the guard caption averages over night.  That should be one of the more interesting things to watch.  

Right now, Boston has the lead and will win the caption if they get 1st tomorrow night. If BD gets first, they can take the caption if they beat Boston by more than 0.1 pts. If they beat Boston by 0.1, Boston and BD would tie but BD would get the caption award for winning Finals night.

And as of right now they are the frontrunners for the Zingali!

BAC Guard avg. = 19.3

BD Guard avg. = 19.25

Did W Chumley just cost BD the zingali award?

Does this silver situation remind anyone of the 2014 season?

Didn't want to go there and jinx it.

My recollection of that was that Bloo was chasing hard for the 2nd spot... clawing up from down in the pack at the start.

 

This is different.  Bloo has already commanded the 2nd spot this season and has been holding important captions since the start.  Being 2nd on the last night for them would be a coin toss.

Depends on how BD does tomorrow. History has been kind to them, as they have won Guard on Finals night every year since 2008. An amazing streak.
