An E-Mail was just sent out regarding placements. The results were printed and read correctly at final awards, but Papillion did indeed score higher on points than Mundelein. The results were tabulated with consensus rankings, a great discussion about which can be found on this year's Monona Grove forum. The rankings were as follows
Papillion- 3, 4,5,5, 5, 5
Mundelein- 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6
Using "Pure Rank" totals, this adds up to 27 a piece for each group. Now using the following scale for each rank
6=1 point
5=3 points
4=6 points
3=10 points
2=15 points
1=21 points
Now, that makes Papillion's total 28 and Mundelein's 29, therefore making the score sheet make sense with what was read.
Thank you Angela for explaining that so eloquently. Indeed, the results that were read last night are correct using the consensus ranking. We believe that this is the most fair system so that one judge's score isn't weighted more than another. The raw point values were only a determining factor in the event of a tie. Again, the results are:
5RU: Mundelein Sound FX
4RU: PLVS
3RU: Mundelein Sound
2RU: N. St. Paul
1RU: Onalaska
GC: SC East
Best Vocals: SC East
Best Choreography: SC East
We hope that everyone had an enjoyable day yesterday and we look forward to seeing more groups back next year!

The email did explain what the rules were and had been. The rankings you see posted are accurate.
Shout out to all the groups yesterday on a great final competition - all the groups looked great throughout the day. It was a pleasure to see you all!
And of course, a shout out to my group for stepping up, having the best show of their season, and snagging a caption for Best Closer. Very proud director yesterday
