I saw the Spartans while the stands were practically empty earlier in the day and their show was great. Congratulations to them on the open class championship. It was well deserved and this is the best show from them I have ever seen. The place was empty for a lot of Corps on Thursday morning. I’m glad I saw everyone. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m reminded of stones and glass houses. We stayed to watch them! Did you stay or were you NOT in attendance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m surprised his nose and lips aren’t Blue from kissing up to the Devils after all these years. Tell us how you really feel!😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRapp Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 9 hours ago, bgg80 said: What exactly is the past score history approach? I'd argue you need to look at a finals judge, judging the caption he/she is covering on Finals night, judging BD and BC head to head. And .. I'd argue in the past three weeks. Anything earlier? hmmmm If the "past score history approach" is judges scores outside of head to head matchups ... well ... there are plenty of lectures on this forum about assuming anything from comparing scores from separate shows. I didn't do an exhaustive search, but I can't find too many examples of head to head, same captions with Finals judges this season. GE judges? Stone had BC over BD by .1 .... three weeks ago. Jones had BC over BD by .1. Similar GE caption gaps tonight. Although an interesting one -- Dillon had BC over BD in GE recently .... and guess who he went for tonight? BD by .05. It all goes to say ... don't overthink or overanalyze panel "bias". Performance level matters bigtime. 2015 is a classic example, with a similar "panel stacked for Crown" proclamations. What a great season! Good luck to both "Blues" Past score approach is literally what the entire DCI scoring system is based on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to see him in a few minutes. I'll ask him if he knows you by your avatar and share your thoughts with him. Thanks for that.

I’m reminded of stones and glass houses. I agree with you, here, but Dan made those comments to members of the corps, not to the fans. I feel Dan used poor judgement last night and should apologize to the Spartans. Them "winning by default" is a horrible thing to say or infer to a corps that actually showed up for Open Class Finals and won the Gold on the field. Yes, SCVC and BDB were not there. Who cares? We miss them, but those organizations did what was best for them and I applaud them for it. But when it comes to competition you only refer to the corps actually competing, not hypothetical scenarios that do not exist. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But one giant is already beheaded this year. Another is not needed. (He did apologize and wrote kind and consoling comments to the corps and the DM.) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a great guy and really good at what he does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
