we took 9th over all, it was odd, we had keyboard set up problums at the begining and the stage kinda came apart on us (the risers started to come apart it was kinda scary), but overall we have been working really hard so that the rest of the season will go a lot better, and i am confident that it will. great job to everyone who was at monona grove.anyone who actually watched us please feel free to say what you thought about us! (the group that did newsies, if your like me and rember by theme instead of group)

im sorry that i seemed to misinterpret what i was saying... I was meaning no harm to anyone. I just was stating that scoring is subjective and that is why many competitions have lost this scoring system. Our choreographer thinks there should be a universal show choir judging system so that no matter what it is always as fair as possible.

lol well maybe you should check your facts about those Great River rankings.... first of all there were only 3 judges in day round... 2nd of all your rankings were 4, 6, 6..... not 2, 3, 4, 5. anyways that is moot point. The group that got the 1, 5, 7 rankings had 2 of the 3 judges place them ahead of you and would have been 3 placement points ahead of Prairie, so that would be why they beat you... And don't forget there was another school ahead of you that didn't make finals. But otherwise your point is valid: Judging is completely subjective and of course the judges are not always going to favor you.
...how do you guys remember stuff like this?! Its incredible! " border="0" alt="blink.gif" />
i'd be echoing if you had the right numbers..... lol.
skyzurguy08's rankings were closest to Momentum's and since Mo was 6th in day round there I assumed he was talking about them. Linn-Mar's placings in day round at Great River were 1, 7, 9. Also, skyzurguy08 you cannot use Great River scores in this situation since, unlike Monona Grove, it was not the judges placements that determined rank, but rather the actual points.

I agree that the judging is a little wierd. But its just the way it works sometimes. Last year we went to the davenport great river competition and we had a set of rankings of like 2,3,4,5 and the other school had a ranking of like 1,5, 7,3 and they beat us and it just doesn't make sense sometimes. but its not worth arguing, its not like you can change the past.

I just read through this thread, and it sounds like this was a great competition! I must congratulate CR Prairie, for I love your show dearly. Lol, I feel like I bonded with your group when I saw you at Viterbo, and I've been rooting for you every since. So congrats on your 2-0 record (lol) and good luck the rest of the season.
GCS, oh how I love you ;) I wish SO badly that I could see your show this year! I want to compete against you because i enjoy our rivarly so much. Also, you are one of our "sister-show choirs", so its nice to be able to cheer for each other at a competition and just enjoy each other's shows. I have heard great things about you this year, and I'm sure you will have a very strong season, as always
That's all I have to say, really. Its hard to say much when I wasn't there ;)
