All he had to do was understand all if the following: 1) Crown was going to win brass, no matter what 2) BD was going to win the championship, no matter what, no harm in putting them second 3) everyone else may as well be in their performance slot easy peasy. No drama. Bloo had to be third cuz of 1) and 2) though. Except the Troopers beat the Colts in brass, but I’m sure there’s a simple Illuminati rule to explain that too.

skevinp Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I still have pieces of every show in the top 5 floating through my head like an ethereal eclectic playlist. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the top corps are so phemoninal, I'd like to see the traditional system to determine Gold scrapped. Instead the top scoring corps is declared first overall. Any corps scoring within 10% of the winner is Gold. 15% is Silver, 20% is a Bronze medal. This system is used on the world stage with the FIM International Six Days Enduro, the toughest cross country race in the world where surviving with your body and bike intact is the goal for most normal pros. To earn a medal is a cherished lifelong achievement. I've brought this up in the past. NOBODY but me likes this idea. 😢 Edited August 13, 2023 by wvu80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, heresy, base it on who traveled the furthest to get there. Literally nobody here wants that except me, pretty sure. It's the hill I'll die on though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're saying Blue Devils hasn't been anybody's favorite show since the last century?! 😵 That's rough, bro. 🤣 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened a couple times last night. Middle of Bloo, and couldn’t get the stream back. I changed tvs really quick but missed the rest of that show. Never hear back from Flo. 😡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftwdrummer Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) Takeaways from last night: -The Troopers ending on the ground with the saber worked better than the lever machine anyway -THE STICK WORK IN CAVIES -I finally figured out that, much like BD 2000 is the show Blue Stars should've done in 2011 and Crown 2015 is a mid-90s Phantom show, Sinnerman is the show Bluecoats could've done between Jagged Line and Session 44. This is not at all a bad thing and if Mandarins keep in that vein I am here for it. -Boston finally fixed the ending! It was so much better that way. -Also, I think I realized that Boston kinda takes turns doing "Boston" shows (White Whale, the first half of SOS, I think Zoom but I never had a good sense of that show) and "Crusader" shows (the second half of SOS, Goliath, Paradise Lost). Wicked Games is both in this paradigm. -It was nice to see as many corps have their best run on Finals night as happened last night.

Oh, I assumed my rural internet was just on the fritz. This happened to me too. Right before the BOMP no less. I was flipping out.

I didn't enjoy 2021 any less than any other year because it wasn't judged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
