If scoring can be just as high without them, then why spend the extra money, time, logistics, etc to have them in the first place? Who says that the score would not have been higher if they had used the props on that day in that contest? This whole argument is stupid because it presumes something (judge intent with score in that specific contest on that specific day) that no one here has one clue about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they be using the stages, jungle-gyms, stairs, high-wire acts, ladders, human spinning machines, etc if it 'lowered' their score? Nope! They use them to increase GE. So, um, we do have a clue!

But you are speaking of a specific contest where a corps used their props in an alternate and not intended way due to atmospheric conditions. Someone stated that scores didn't change. I'm making the point that you have ZERO clue if in fact the scores at that contest on that day in that stadium during that unique performance would or would not have been higher had they been able to use their props. So my statement that you have no clue is one of fact. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, um, we still have a clue. How do you know that a let's say an18.4 at that show from the GE or Field Vis judge would not have been a 18.7 had they used the props? YOU DON'T. YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE. The poster that said they didn't lower the score is also clueless. Lower it from what? The night before? That was a different contest in a different environment that could have had other issues both good and bad to contribute to the score they got that specific night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
