Did a little digging into scores previous 3 years. Look how much everyone has improved.
2016 35th Place 75.25
2017 35th Place 81.45
2018 35th Place 83.75
There are so many great bands here and just not enough slots. Two years ago an 85 got you into the finals and would have been 11th place. Now an 85 gets you top 30. That's crazy.
