  Jeff brings up the point, and others have, of the rather small pool of individuals at this level getting in to judge at the top end.  

Years ago while officiating various HS sports, there was always officials who did not want to do any playoff games, even in the early rounds.  More for those of us who wanted the challenge.  Does this happen with some DCI judges, or are most of them anxious to do regionals and finals?

Topic for another thread, I suppose.... but would it be worthwhile to have separate perc. judges for battery and front ensemble?

there's a zillion possible options, preferably wth at least one person downstairs, because in a dome, with amps and the brass, you wont hear a lot

in the old days, the mentality was snares, then tenors, then bass, then pit, then plates.

We used to refer to this in DCA in the late 70's/early 80's as "snare-centric" and "soprano-centric". A lot of us wondered what the heck we were doing out there doing what we did and based on some of the evaluations given, figured we were could've just about played and done anything we pleased as long as the snares and sopranos were awesome.

Sometimes scheduling may keep someone off that may want to do them. Generally speaking, most adjudicators enjoy working the bigger shows if given the opportunity.

They used to! There was double percussion until last year, when they decided to have 2 Music Analysis judges at big shows -- one brass heavy and the other perc heavy.

btw, after 1992's inexplicable color guard trophy (not yet part of the 100 pts) going to the Blue Devils over the Cadets, they began having multiple judges over the three days and averaging the scores. I think it started in '91 when some were peeohed that the Cadets won over Cavies (welp, I thought it was obviously a Cadet win).

But, are there any judges who do not want to do the regionals/finals and they seem to disappear during the "playoffs"?

the ones i know would love a big gig.
