They announced a tie between Phi Beta Sigma and Alpha Phi Alpha for 1st place and told the teams they had to do a step off to determine who would take 1st place. They announced this tie before the other sororities had a chance to step.
The drama with the sororities came in when Sigma Gamma Rho came in 4th place, Alpha Theta Omega 3rd, Zeta Phi Beta 2nd, and AKA 1st. The crowd, from the reaction I observed and well as the one I gave, was shocked that Sigma Gamma Rho had not placed in 1st or 2nd place. They put on an excellent show.
After the competition was over, the news came in later that night that there was a scoring error and that Sigma Gamma Rho placed 2nd which bumped Zeta Phi Beta to 3rd. Some of the SGRHOs that were sitting with me at the show stated that they felt they just placed them anywhere after the judges made the scoring error, and that their members (who were present during the show) believed that SGRHO had actually won 1st place.
They also had an issue with the fact that Judges from each NPHC were not represented. I believe there were only five , with two coming from one of the other competing sororities. Sprite's rules never said that there had to be 9 judges.
