Looks like all of their visual caption scores were in their expected slots, as if nothing was amiss. ok so on 7/6, GEV was 16.9, VP 16.8, Va 17.1 and Guard 16.6 next day off for travel and rehearsal I'd assume 7/8 17.0 GEV, VP 16.9, VA 17.2 and guard 17.1 So with a full day in rehearsal, especially with a jump in the guard score....could the lack of the prop usage really be that big of a deal? Like other stuff didn't get clean that couldn't cause an increase? next day off for travel/rehearsal I'd assume 7/10 GEV 17.1, VP 17.0, VA 16.8, Guard 17.2.......so maybe some stuff got cleaner, or changes...VA dropped. So really in the grand scheme of things, one singular moment in the show didn't cause the big of an issue in the progression of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the stands that night (raising a family in Michigan kept me off the field). I would not have noticed fog ... there were too many tears in my eyes.

I'm doing less of that now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So really in the grand scheme of things, one singular moment in the show didn't cause the big of an issue in the progression of the season Since i'm the one that threw out the Ft. Wayne show, I'll note that in the stands I was sitting next to a BD volunteer who was traveling with them through a leg of the tour. She felt BD had a rough run and were travel tired and that Bluecoats had found some fire they'd not had in previous runs. Entirely subjective measures of course, but that's sort of the problem that lies under the scoring system and placements anyway. What mattered to me was that both shows (along with Boston's Animal Farm) were incredibly exciting to watch live. Boston had just instituted some change to the drill to make that block that jumps over ten yards that fixed something apparently (I'd not seen the show prior) and those of us up high actually heard a judge remark, "Oh! you fixed that moment, that's very effective" a bit loudly into their tape right before the hit that follows.
