Because there’s no group more impartial than a stadium half full of alumni and corps parents. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rylan Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 1 hour ago, FlamMan said: There needs to be a component in the sheets tied to audience reaction and applause. Audience reaction should be reflected in the score. Also, let the audience members vote live during the show for their favorite corps via an app. Let the fans in on the voting process. IMO BD's show just doesn't compete with Bloo's. Sure BD is clean, but this years Coats show was special...BD's was not. Jeff P. needs his head examined. Sure, I’d be into this if they moved DCI Championships to California. Let’s see how many “Bloo”s you’d get then. 😉 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said "always", you did. I'll let the numbers speak for themselves: Thurs the total spread was off by .5 from the predicted spread. Fri the total spread was off by .3 from the predicted spread. Sat the total spread was off by 1.0 from the predicted spread. So all were off by about 1% or less of the total score. So that's about 99% correct. Not sure how that's "thoroughly discredited". These are all publicly published scores. I'm not making them up. The judges created the numbers. I didn't. 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfmninjaa Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 The Cadets scored under 90 in finals for the first time since 1981. Back when tick scoring was a thing. The Cadets had ended 1982 with their first 90 score and had hit 90 in every finals since until now. almost 40 years of consistency.

If you're going to make this argument, you need to show that BD was always so far back that they couldn't have a really good night and beat SCV. Easy to prove.

Sorry, total BS! Jeff P is one if my favorite judges but man, how can one explain one show did BD have the better line all year? And of all nights tonight. BD is and amazing group and are just so good at every caption but no way now how do they stroke the drums better than SCV. Congratulations BD on a 19th championship. Well deserved, but they did not ever have the best drum line all season. They only needed to be better for 11 minutes last night. Not all season. Unless they've changed the "Build Up" score process to build up starting in June. Yes, they were better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will crush you, break your heart and steal your toys and there is nothing you can ever do about it. We own DCI! Boy, you are a sensitive little thing, aren't you?! Find your vapors; it will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
