KeithHall Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I was looking at scores for A-I Open, US Open and DCI and noticed some weird things. Marquis takes 9th place in Open Class at US Open beating Argonne and Precisionaires but got beat by General Butler Vagabonds, Freelancers and Saints and at DCI Championships Marquis doesn't go at all and Precisionaires take 14th, Freelancers take 18th, Saints 19th and Argonne 20th. Nowadays you have a better idea where each corps will place...consistency? Ahhh tic sysyem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxwellNotes Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Yeah I sure do miss the old days. It was more exciting back then, not knowing where any corps would finish on any particular night. I know all the problems with the tick system and all that, but I just miss the excitement of never getting too comfortable with where you were.

You can say what you want negatively about the tick system but it did judge the performance level of corps on an individual night's performance.

Roark1 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Agreed.

A couple of people having a bad night could really sink you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHall Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Going from 15th in the show before DCI and then making finals is cool though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp1955 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 The tick system if a judge had it in for you he could make or break you also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this situation had not only the negative side, but the positive side as well. As a spectator now, I miss the excitement of sitting in the stands after the performances wondering how the outcome would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
