Performer Difficulty

Here's an interesting idea (does this already exist?)

Allow Pyware's step size calculator (or other factors) to determine individual difficulty of each performer. (i.e. if a 5/10 is the average difficulty of the show....M5 is a 3/10 difficulty, and T9 has the hardest drill at a 9.6/10 difficulty). I know you can do small things like adjust performer height to account for step size, but wouldn't it be cool if you could run a whole report, to assist when assigning students drill numbers?

How would you quantify difficulty?

The Virtual Clinic can be adjusted to check for Collision, Directional Change, Excessive Stride (based on height). What other information would you be looking for?

Unless we're all willing to sit down and work out visual elements, like artistic and rhythmic gymnastics does already, I don't think this is going to happen.

I'm not saying this is a terrible idea. Quit the opposite! I'd rather see something like this over some of the current marching judging we have.
