I agree - you would think that in this day and age judges would have an email address where DCI and their Pageantry Leech Overlords could mail the correct numbers for any given night. 😎 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT they do hold down earlier corps numbers to leave space in the caption to delineate the later corps... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's exactly this! Monte Mast is trying to do the right thing for the corps members and the organization, and he is doing his duty for the health and wellness of the other corps around him as well. A LOT of thought and worry has gone into making the "right" decision. Honestly, I can imagine that there are other people who would have NOT put as much thought into the process and just had their corps march with 30 holes....

On the other hand, I truly believe show order does matter a little, but only for the corps at the very top around finals when numbers management gets dicey. That's more a flaw with the current judging system than anything else. Whether Cavies were earlier or not, I think they would have been scored similarly. What many do not know, is that the judges do not give their numbers at the end of each corps performance any more. They have a tote/worksheet, but they can tweak and change their numbers, spreads, and positions throughout the show. It's actually a good thing. The judge can reflect at the end and tweak if need be. They are not allowed to converse with others, and once they verify and do their final send on their device, that is the same as turning in their sheets. I actually hate "seedings" of any kind, and prefer the corps drawing straws for position order... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
