Xenon Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 I did some playing around with the Semifinals recap and came up with the below spreadsheet. This is a UILification of the recap with each judge's ranks added up together and then weighted per that caption's actual weight. GE=40% Visual=30% Music=30% When laid out like this, Phantom overtakes Blue Devils and Bluecoats leap over SCV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treblemaker Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 And people say UIL sucks... They may think differently if it puts their corps where they would like them to be.. But this is really cool Xenon! You and mbui always come up with cool stuff to put on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is really cool Xenon! You and mbui always come up with cool stuff to put on here! There are many problems with UIL (lack of pageantry, use of non-UIL-trained judges, loose score rubrics, etc), but I don't think that the scoring system itself (ranking) is one of them.

Xenon Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 DCI gave us Theaters for Quarters and Online for Semis, but for Finals you have to be there to see it. But at least the Blue Devils have a live blog (similar to what we did with TxBLive last season) running throughout Finals: http://www.bluedevils.org/programs/a/2008/...hp?night=finals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtxtrmpt Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 The blog died and killed my computer. It froze and has taken me 10 minutes to get back online! Thank goodness for dcp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how much longer after that before scores start coming in. Haha, it was bound to happen sooner or later. According to the schedule, scores and trophies should start presenting at 9:50 our time. I'm currently working with a few Txbands.com Members on getting scores live here on the site.

Salas Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Just some quick thoughts on the results from Semis. The Blue Devils are currently in first, with Phantom Regiment and The Cavaliers trailing. Crown is in fourth with The Cadets in fifth. It's going to be wild!!!
