ok, i was confused by the statement "they don't do the virtual placement by score anyways" thinking, how else could they pick? but the OP meant by the original score...and that it was rescored...blonde moment.
anyway...where did you find (or do you have firsthand knowledge) that the cincy panel rescores? do they announce actual scores or just do a ranking?
I can't find anything but vague info on the website and the FAQ is mostly about the rules of the comp and fees, etc. and the "more info" for the virtual championship just brings you to the videos from 2010...and there are no rankings/scores (at least not what i can see on my ipad) there.
