OMH Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 (edited) Just for fun, consider: What do you think the outcome would be if, at Div.II Finals, the order of appearance was reversed? Would it affect the scores? Since all judging is absolute (not relative), I would guess the outcome would be the same. Any other opinions? Come on, you know you wanna play.

But in a system of judging like we have here in DCI its hard not to have the small effects of relative comparison creep up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 89 scores were at one show and the 90's at another show. Putting them altogether at prelims and OC fell below Blue stars and Fever. I sorta think it does matter what show AND what order. It just seems strange that between Blue stars and OC on the 7th, there was almost a point difference with OC ahead, and at prelims there was about a 5 point lead with Blue stars ahead. What is that all about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is that all about? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good question...what do you think? I think about the reverse order, there is a good chance that there would be some shuffling of scores and corps - assuming each judge does not already have in their mind a rank of where the corps should be placed.

They say it for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
