It is entirely possible corps can perform 3 nights in a row, and that 3rd performance is worse than the 1st, yet you'll still see 2 point jumps for no reason. Wisconsin scores were definitely a couple points too high, but once the show lineups are fuller thru TX to SA, I'm sure we'll see the scores settle down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Crown and BD were in Utah on July 3 and Crown was 83 something and BD was 82 something. 2023…. the scores are not inflated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t the score depend on the performance & not the calendar? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to be with the current length of the season. Corps have to be almost regional ready, now, out of the gates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number one complaint from ensembles is when they know they have improved, but their score went down. So never mind all those pesky facts in the rest of your post. Never mind that there are a hundred other similarly logical reasons why we should not expect scores from diverse judging panels to behave like absolute measures of value from the same machine. Some circuits purposely install systemic numbers-management measures to create rising scores throughout the season in order to make the ensembles happy. Not sure whether DCI does this by design... but if not, then it is by habit. And people wonder why there is slotting... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a problem with scores going up when corps have a WORSE performance than the night before. 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
