cybersnyder 191 Report post Posted July 6 I just picked a date in the past, no particular reason, but just a round 30 years. Of course there would be many infractions for things now allowed that were previously prohibited and everyone would have a stroke over the synths. But would they do ok or end up in last place?

I agree that the talent is incredible today, but I don't want to p-ss off the old timers by saying that. I was kinda thinking more about rules then versus rules now. Would there be enough ticks so that say, 2018 SCV, would end up in the 50s? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfrontz 2,341 Report post Posted July 6 I'm am old timer. I marched only a few years after 89. The tick system was out in 84. Even if it weren't, I don't think the corps of today would ever score 50. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I may not always like it, but what happens on the field today is nothing short of amazing. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Question: was what happen on the field in 2009 amazing? 1999? 1989? 1979? My answer is yes. You cannot judge shows from yesterday through the lens of today. You just can’t.

cybersnyder 191 Report post Posted July 6 I wasn't trying to pit decade versus decade, more of discussion of the technical side of what would a modern show score under the rules of (I picked) 1989? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, under the rules of 1989, a show of today would be disqualified. Amps. Synths. Prerecorded material. Not allowed. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This topic has been covered almost annually. Different sheets, points were assigned differently in 89, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
