TheOneWhoKnows Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 At the end of the day, BD is winning tomorrow night. Sorry but they’re just too good at what they do and they’re gonna rack up the points. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCI-86 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 One of the other top 4 would have to have a “run for the ages” (eg Phantom 2008) to have any chance of toppling BD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure. though I'm betting on the opposite being true. The point being, the talking point of "BD has this in the bag, and would have to make a huge mistake" is erroneous. A slightly different panel last night could have called this completely differently. There are enough judges that don't have them as their top choice to make this possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BD absolutely has this in the bag. They may close the gap. But BD is still going to get the points to win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could definitely win, but the door is definitely open depending on the panel. To say otherwise is just biased pandering.

If I am wrong I will eat the biggest crow I've ever eaten, but I have been paying attention for the past 16 years. Blue Devils are going to win tonight and tomorrow night. There is not a path for anyone else to win. Simple as. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BD has a way of coming into finals and tearing the place down. They’ll do it again. They have the vehicle. They changed the ending which helps their visual proficiency number. And they get enough points in GE to still win. You’d need BD to be getting 3 or 4 in sub captions to pull them down. I’m sorry you can’t see that, but it’s the facts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was such a special show and the momentum of that show carried them to victory. Crown, Boston and Bluecoats, as great as they are, just don't have a show that cannot be denied like Regiment 2008. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether they win or not ignoring that is just ignorant. I guarantee you that the BD staff is telling the members right now that "THE DOOR IS OPEN FOR THEM TO TAKE IT FROM YOU," - because that's the truth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy to send you a dictionary if you think that will help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
