1956OPR Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 It's a lazy day here in Arizona and, in preparation for my first trip to a DCI Finals ( I witnessed the 1965 VFW triumph of the Chicago Royal-Aires in Chicago ) , I was reviewing the Allentown recaps produced by DCP and fromthepressbox.. The DCP recap recited a Total Score for the Mandarins of 87.875; DCP's 08-04 Overall Total Ranking for 2019 listed Mandarins Last (08-03) Most Recent Score as 87.125, a difference of 0.7. The ftpb recap recited a Sub Total Score of 87.625, a 0.500 Penalty and a Total Score of 87.125 . Anyone know if a penalty was assessed, for what reason(s) and if it was just one penalty or ?? Thanks for your response. Hope to see some of you in Indy. I will be one of the old guys with canes hanging out @ the Downtown Marriott or LOS with the Regiment contingent. Michael Sullivan, Soprano Bugle, Phantom Regiment,1956-1960. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By turf, do they mean the actual football field/performance area or just astroturf in general? How do you enforce such a penalty when the field in places like a dome is completely turf?

That's where they're afraid that an 1/8" depression will cause a football player with a $35 million contract to trip and break their leg.

They would much rather not have the #### marching bands messing up their fields. So, to keep them at bay... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
