ACTUALLY, From my understand of being and working with Judges the ordinal system works by the judges grading you on an extremely comprehensive grade sheet which then is imported into a computer program with a formula weighting the score of the group and simply outputting the score order:
IE: 1.Olentangy 2.Piqua 3. Teays etc...
but when the formula weighs 2 schools as the same it automatically recalculates the scores of the schools by total points earned. Hence the case last night when both Teays & Piqua were placed tied in 2nd by the ordinal...
Also in case anyone was wondering here are the Best Performers from each school as well:
West Jefferson: Randy Williams
Triton Central: Carissa Fisher
Millersport: Clayton Keller
Ross: Heather Shelton
Marietta: Jennifer Magloran
Milton Union: Kyle Fulmer
Beech: Fallon Shepard
Portsmouth: Alli Schultz
Piqua: Ryan Mouser
S. Dearborn: Stephanie Zidan
Loveland: Brandon Huber
Middletown: Anthony "Pooder" Buchanon
Atlee: Kati Peak
Colerain: Torence Toll
Shelbyville: Rachel Blackburn
Herbert Hoover: Megan Williams
Teays Valley: Will Ett
Olentangy: Andre' Rocca
Hamilton: Leah Goodpaster
Beavercreek: Jordan Luke
and might i add how much fun i had seeing Piqua again! After your daytime show i had your closer stuck in my head all day. I heard someone in the cafeteria saying that you had a spectacular show in finals which made me kinda sad because we were warming up while you guys were onstage.
yeah thats right tobi. in finals the scoring was the judges gave us a ranking in addtion to points. Like for example you could get seven judges putting you in first and one judge putting you in second.
It indeed was but initially both Piqua and Teays tied for second. In that event the computer automatically goes to the sum of the scores total and hence the somewhat 3-point spread between the 2.
But Yes Olentangy was all alone out in front, and well deservedly might I add
Yeah I double checked. We beat piqua by a little more than 20 points alone.
So Idk the point spread between first and sixth!
And that's awesome! Andy will be so proud
Oh and also congrats to piqua. I got to see your show in the morning and it was so much fun to watch! I love how all of you guys really buy into the songs and just have fun with them that's great good luck in the future!
