Scores jumped a good bit in 1984 with the change in system And @wvu80 Mandarins set a record for highest 10th place score in 2019 with 89.3. So this year was definitely the first time 10 corps scored 90 in Finals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember what year but I think it was in the 1980's. I think if you do your research you'll find that it's never happened before tonight. In fact, rarely does 9th place score 90 or above. In 2019 Mandarins set a new record high score for 10th place in DCI finals with 89.300. Edit: From a friend of mine: "Since 1984, when scoring resulted in 7 or more corps achieving a 90, the most frequent lowest placement with a 90 was 8th, followed by 7th. Only 3 times did a 9th place corps achieve a 90." Edited August 14, 2022 by brassboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skevinp Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 1 hour ago, Liahona said: This is actually incorrect. There is no tie breaking policy. Policy and Procedures Manual, Page 14 (Updated May 2021) Thank goodness for this. Any policy they follow would be seen as arbitrary and questioned by the party that comes out on the short end. For first place, only two options seem fair to me. Either put them back out there for one more judged show (which I can well imagine might not be feasible) or accept the tie and leave it as is. For all others, accept the tie and leave it as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenHut Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Why in the world are the caption awards an average of the last 3 shows rather than the finals performance? This makes no sense to me whatsoever. Nothing against bloo, but that's a 3rd or 4th place drum line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not just drumline on the sheets. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes no sense to me whatsoever. Nothing against bloo, but that's a 3rd or 4th place drum line. It makes sense because these captions are only assigned one judge per competition. Compare that to GE (4 judges for one performance) or Music Analysis (2). Or to the visual award, which is again based on the opinion of multiple judges. Each of these captions is decided by consensus. When you win them on finals night, it’s because multiple judges decided so. Guard, Brass, and Percussion are different: they’re only assigned one judge each. No consensus. The only way to get consensus is to average three nights’ worth of scores — three scores from three judges. It’s better that way. It means the wins are less arbitrary, because consistency determines the winner. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

27Socal Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 For the kids who marched Bloo and Pulse last winter, they won WGI and DCI drums within 4 months. Incredible. They'll never forget 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I basically like anything that isn’t overly sweet (or has a salty/savory component to combat that) I highly recommend Jeni’s Gooey Butter Cake ice cream for you then. If there isn’t a Jeni’s shop around you, then you can get their pints at Whole Foods. I’d love to know what you think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the percussion trophy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
