British Firework Championships 2016 - Judges Scores

These are the final scores and comments from the judges for the British Firework Championships 2016

TEAM A - SMART PYROTECHNICS

Tuesday, 16th August - Fired First

Judge A – Good use of height & angles. Nice slow-burn elements with added surprise of floating units. Finale good, some misfires perhaps?
Judge B – Somewhat hesitant start but tempo picked up well. Symmetry good and maintained well -plenty of colour but slight mishmash. A good overall display.
Judge C – Good colour & height. Couple of ‘pauses’ mid-show. Good start & finish.
Judge D – Need to improve flow & timing. Stuff down low lost as effect up high drew the eye.
Judge E – Slow start, a little disjointed.
Judge F – Good variety and wow factor. Lack of variety of colour in places.

TEAM B - PHOENIX FIREWORKS

Tuesday, 16th August - Fired Second

Judge A – Really tight in synchro making big audio impact. Great use of rhythm. Basics done well with epic finale. Visual symmetry lost in places with some misfires.
Judge B – Unusual start, but rhythm and pattern picked up as display continued. Good use of symmetry but somewhat mixed in middle of display. A good rounded finish.
Judge C – No maroons at start. Very low and quickly obscured by smoke. A bit ‘light’ in the middle. Good colour & symmetry. Good ending.
Judge D – Especially liked the start & count-down before finale.
Judge E – Generally good display, some poor continuity in places.
Judge F – Excellent variety really showcased a huge range of effects. Wow factor stunned the crowd towards the end.

TEAM C - F1 PYROTECHNICS

Tuesday, 16th August - Fired Third

Judge A – Really colourful display. Nice use of height including smoke-management. Lovely slow-burn effects with a very different finale. Did lose symmetry and felt quite thin in places.
Judge B – A well-rounded show. Good colour with nice variety. Well executed.
Judge C – Good start. Good height & symmetry. No pauses. Very good colour. Good ending.
Judge D – Some of low fireworks lost as higher up ones caught the eye and overpowered them.
Judge E – Good display.
Judge F – Good rhythm. Moved well between sections of the display. Strong finish with good wow factor.

TEAM D - AURORA FIREWORKS

Wednesday, 17th August - Fired First

Judge A – Bold use of colour. Good variation of height and scale. More variety of rhythm would have got a bigger score.
Judge B – A good dramatic start with sound symmetry and excellent patterns. Excellent impetus right through to a rousing finale.
Judge C – Good opening, no pauses. Good height & colour. Symmetry good. Very good finale. (Shame the wind didn’t disperse the smoke!).
Judge D – Visual balance good. Sometimes too much going on so eyes drawn away from one element before it had finished.
Judge E – Very impressive.
Judge F – Fantastic variety & wow factor.

TEAM E - DISTANT THUNDER FIREWORKS

Wednesday, 17th August - Fired Second

Judge A – Nice chase sequences and good smoke management. Some gaps and a relatively slow pace.
