Snapettes Mom Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 The penalty system should not be used against a final score unless a tie breaker is needed. I read a story here that a corps known as the Brigidiers once where penalized for having undersized flags and did not make finals because of it. I'm sure threre are other silly penalties that need to still be weeded out. What are they? Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourouttheforty Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I believe that would defeat the point of penalties like timing and logistical penalties. "We really don't want you practicing in the lot after shows or warming up in these areas, and if you do you will find yourself performing before the intermission instead of after at the next Regional (or worse consequences)."

84BDsop Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Joke?...i don't get it. Snapettes marched renegades...what penalty bit them on the ### in 03 and 06??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapettes Mom Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 "It was me in '03" That's the story you'll hear from any member who marched that year. It was karma I tell ya. Marched '78 in SCV as well and won finals by a tenth because of Phantoms 1 tenth penalty. : ) I don't know what happened in '06. Any penalties should have been offset by the enclusion of a little known bonus handicap points from the 1967 VFW rules red book. (Note, not the black book used specifically for club members only.)which could have and should have been ammended to the prelims performance of any corps on the field during a hurricane. The exact handicap can be extracted from the wind speed plus the inches of rain per hour devided by one tenth. When dividing the music score by three and multiplying and few other essoteric caluculations that escape me the score can resonably be adjusted to a far more resonable divergence from the minimum and maximum score from all competitors on the field before the break.
