I don’t remember them being in world class before, but I will never forget their beautiful show in 2020 at WGI Austin before Covid shut everything down. It was absolutely lovely. Rubisco 1 Quote

TrenBS Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Im overall pretty new to watching winter guard, is there anywhere that explains the divisions/score differences between them, and if these scores translate at all in the WGI equivalent? Rubisco 1 Quote

There's no clear way to compare the scores between the various classes, if that's what you mean. Even between Independent and Scholastic in the same class (like Scholastic A versus Independent A) scores can't be directly compared. Typically, pretty much always, if a guard is reclassified to a higher class mid-season, their scores will drop a bit, since the standards are higher in that class. Do NTCA scores relate to WGI scores? Well, they use the same sheets with the same box criteria, so you'd think there should be some overlap there, but often the scores and placements moving from local circuits to WGI can be QUITE different. I have noticed that local circuit judges will often "fall in line" with WGI after there has been a WGI contest, although even that doesn't always happen, as we saw at TCGC Pearland this past weekend.

I see, would say a Scholastic A and a National A have a major point difference in regards to like obvious differences (like is an SA score of 70 even remotely comparable to a National A 70, or is National A way beyond the Scholastic A standards?) I know Independent and Open make it muddy but talking mainly from the next in line in regards to NTCA Quote

I know Independent and Open make it muddy but talking mainly from the next in line in regards to NTCA The various scholastic A classes in the local circuits, like AA, A, and National A, should be comparable, as long as the scores are rendered by the same panel at the same contest. They use the same sheets. National A is simply for the higher scoring ones -- the ones most ready for National competition, I suppose. TrenBS 1 Quote
Tubalord11 Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Another big weekend in NCTA SO! Marcus now fall behinds Timber Creek, little elm still first with an 81, and Emerson already scoring almost an 80, placing ahead of TC and Marcus between the two comps, can’t wait to see how things shake out with all these groups in a couple weeks!!!
