Agreed with Girish. I too want to thank BA Board for listening to all of our concerns and doing the best they can to work with us. I'm glad you guys met us half way!

I disagree with you Sharpie. I think its beyond contention that WA and Azaad were not the best teams of the year period the years they won. The teams at BA may not be the best, but so far, the teams that have won have been the best.

The best team will obviously win one of the bid competitions, and would have the best shot to win BA as well. Going into BA both year, it was clearly obvious that WA and Azaad was going to win their respective year. There was no doubt. Just like this year there's no doubt UCLA Nashaa will win.

The term "best" is subjective, more now when you have different format competitions which have their own extreme challenges.

I wouldn't be so quick to say Nashaa will win.

I also don't think viewer's choice should get to choose which position they have in a competition.
Show order is always a big deal with raas competitions since it is difficult to stand out with those performances... here it matters less but I would still have it be random.

Some of these teams haven't competed in a month or so, I think you'll be surprised when they come out with something no one's seen before.
I think it's fair to say that people (maybe even judges) who attend BA will have already seen a performance or so from each of the teams this year, so teams will have to work hard to catch the competition off guard and beat out the other teams.

I don't think Nashaa has a for sure shot at winning. In my eyes their main advantage was that their entire piece is completely classic Bollywood, but once you begin to focus on things like choreo, intricacy, and originality, several teams have that over them. It really depends on what the judges look for this time around... should be interesting.

i dunno what the big fuss is, the best prize out there seems to be the free after party deal...and i think BA should add free bottle service to that
the tech time is a dumb prize
show order is interesting but not that big a deal cause it still doesnt mean anything, imagine the team choosing their order not even placing...very possible

Just throwing it out there that the 1st and 2nd place teams went 9th and 10th in the show order. It seems as though the only spot in the order that has never won/sucks to be in is going 1st.
