Xenon Posted August 9, 2008 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
treblemaker Posted August 9, 2008 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

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. Quote

Oops. I guess that make sense.. I'm just silly. Quote
Xenon Posted August 9, 2008 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

Trumpet Master Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 I just want to say that what ever happens tonight, I am extremely proud of Phantom Regiment.

Xenon Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 The Blue Devils Live Blog has officially died due to traffic overload. Blue Devils are on right now. Not sure how much longer after that before scores start coming in. Quote
dtxtrmpt Posted August 10, 2008 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

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. Quote

dtxtrmpt Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 I just realized that =( Gosh... I wish I had the money to go see it live! Quote
dtxtrmpt Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) Has dcp gone completely down for anyone else? Edit: Never mind. I got it back! Edited August 10, 2008 by dtxtrmpt Quote
Fata1 Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Neither of the two sites are working for me. Thank God txbands won't be going down. Quote
Danpod Posted August 10, 2008 Author Posted August 10, 2008 Good news! We're almost set up with getting you all scores live! Give me a few minutes to get everything situated and I'll check back. Quote
Salas Posted August 10, 2008 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!!! Quote
dtxtrmpt Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Dcp says Phantom got a killer crowd response... Let's hope the judges feel the same way!!! Quote
