Since finals was held in a pro-football arena, Scouts were subject to the
"Bad sportsmanship/excessive celebration" rule. This was not incurred during
the show but when they were announced 4th.

still warming up when the announcer asked if the corps was ready. They
continued to finish the warm up.

Same crap as last year, nothing new, but this year it didn't cost them a
position.

Here's a good question:
Why'd they get penalized last year? Did they go over the time limit or
was it something else?

But what is throwing the cone?

was the first year I remember them getting a penalty, new rules???
Drmhead
they should wise up. I understand the sentiment behind it, but if this
becomes some kind of tradition, it could obviously cause them more pain
and suffering than losing a fifth place tie or a tenth of a point one
year. Let's see if they do it during a year where they think they can
actually win on Saturday night.

A flag went over the front boundary in pre-lims, maybe overtime in
finals. I wouldn't know, because I did not look at a recap all year even
though I was on tour.

cone so he could throw his hat there after the first number.
According to Drum Corps World, it was actually the Scouts OWN cone that
they moved. Further, there isn't any penalty in the books for removing
one's hat and placing it on the field.
Apparently, Bob Briske just decided to penalize them. As it turned out,
that 0.1 cost them a tie with SCV for 5th!
NOTE: all of this info comes straight out of a DCW article, so you can
blame them if its wrong. :-)

guard equipment crossing a boundry line. Also for those of you
who insist on bagging corps, you should know all the info before
you make your self look like a complete asshole. As a member of
the scouts I can tell you that scores, placement, and a measly
tenth of a point is really not any of our concern.

Good thing, too! Imagine what would've happened to Phantom in 1993 & 1994!
Let's see, roughly 64 helmets at .1 points a piece, hmmm.....

Pain?.......try pleasure ;-)
I can almost guarantee that they would toss the cone if in "contention".
It would probably be one of their proudest cone-tosses ever.
Points and placement aren't everything......showin' up is!
Don't mess with Madison....they're doin' just fine.

This is the first I've heard of this tradition, and shows you how much
I've followed DCI lately, but...
It's OK to march into the pit, lay on the ground, run around silly, etc.,
etc., but moving a marker cone (which is there solely for corps reference
anyway) to place a uniform hat is a penalty? Boy, I think that DCI, et
al, better grow up!

As a point of clarification, I believe the 0.1 penalty came from the fact that
the cone was tossed well outside the boundaries of the pit and field, not just
the fact that it was tossed. Any Scouts (Kent?) know if the penalty had been
assessed more than just at finals in '94?
