Most Improved Chorus
Here's everything you ever wanted to know about the Most Improved Chorus
(MIC) award.
Purpose
To provide appropriate recognition to the Chapter, in each Division, showing the
most improvement each year at their Division Convention Chorus contest.
Determining the MIC
There are two ways in which MIC can be computed, by "Raw Score" or by
"Standard Ratio". Both are available to Administrative Judges.
Raw score
This year's score minus last year score = Raw Score difference
The winner is the competitor with the Highest Raw Score difference.
The Mid-Atlantic District uses the Raw Score method.
Ref:
MID-ATLANTIC DISTRICT DIVISION CONTEST REGULATION, article 13.0, d, 2
Standard
This method determines the MIC based on a ratio. It's very complicated not used
very often.
- The system adds all the scores provided for the contestants who competed the
previous year.
- The system then computes the average from all those scores from the previous
year.
- The system then takes each contestant 's score from that year and compares
it against the average score and determines a ratio (low divided by high)
- The system then repeats the process for the current year, except it's high
divided by low.
- The system then takes this years ratio divided by last years ratio
- The chorus with the highest ratio is declared the MIC.
Example
Last years scores total: 13,222
Number of chorus scores: 13
The Average is: 1017.0769
This years scores total 15,909
Number of Chorus scores: 15
The average is 1060.6

1051 |
1.0158 |
1.1217 |
The math...
921 / 1017.0769 = .9056 uses last year's score divided by last year avg,
1060 / 1051= 1.158 uses this year's avg divided by this year's score
1.0158 / 0.9056= 1.1217 this year avg divided by last year avg.= ratio
Yeah, it's complicated!!
