DCI World Champs Semi Finals - Aug 10, 2018


Recommended Posts

BD 4th in brass, 4th in Color Guard, 2nd in Drums, 2nd in Visual and 3rd in GE.  Had it not been for the terrible drum score for Bluecoats the Blue Devils would have been 3rd.

For Brass...

Right now, SCV has the lead and will win the caption if they get 1st tomorrow night. If Crown gets first, they can take the caption if they beat SCV by more than 0.1 pts, tie or 0.05 win still gives SCV the caption. If they beat SCV by 0.1, SCV and Crown would tie but Crown would get the caption award for winning Finals night.

Never say never but tomorrow is more than likely a coronation and the rest are fighting for scraps.

I consider the second through twelve top drum corps in the world more than "scraps."

well they didn't do it last night.  SVC #1 Brass

...and so it goes again tonight.

Advantage SCV. As much as I’d like for CC to salvage the Ott, looks like it’ll break Vanguard’s way.

Though I’d be the first to say well deserved should it come to pass. Had a chance to see SCV live this season, and it lived up to and even exceeded the praise it had been getting.

Heck of a season for them.

Did W Chumley just cost BD the zingali award? 

Nah. Didn't Crown take both quarters and semis in 2015 and get passed on finals night because the margin on the averages was thin and BD was placed well ahead that night?

Yup. It almost happened in 2016 too. Don't underestimate BD on finals night.

Crown only took Prelims in 2015, but still led in the running for the Zingali after Semis (19.25 to BD's 19.2). BD's defeat of Crown in Guard by 0.2 at Finals gave them the Zingali.

DCI scoring system is just baloney.  Why not call it what is is-- a ranking system?  Every judge scores up, there are no ties which is pretty unbelievable.  If they are going to use objective scores, then score objectively not comparatively.  Its sad to see great groups getting 8.x when in reality they would score higher, if there weren't 10 more corps to play after them.

The # 1 job of the judges is to rank the corps.
