777hornman Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Do OC corps perform the same length shows as WC ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shofmon88 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 My understanding is that Open Class has a less stringent minimum time requirement than World Class. Something like 8 minutes (vs 11 minutes), though don't quote me on those times. Open Class can play longer shows than that minimum though.

N.E. Brigand Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Last I heard, for the judged portion of the show . . . World Class minimum time is 10 minutes. Open Class minimum time is 8 minutes 30 seconds. Maximum time for both classes is 11 minutes 30 seconds. Corps also may have performed preshow content, which is not judged.

shofmon88 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Ah, thanks for those time corrections. At least I wasn't too far off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Thunder Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Isn't it interesting that there are rules like these that really haven't been made clear to the average fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shofmon88 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I've always wondered why DCI doesn't post the current season's rules online somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Thunder Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I've always wondered why DCI doesn't post the current season's rules online somewhere. Exactly! I presume they still make their "rule book" available to the general public?? The DCI souvenir booth sold copies of their rules congress rule book from 1980-81. I still have my copy.

N.E. Brigand Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Yes, in DCI also, it used to be, years ago, that the end of the show (after a starter pistol was fired) was judged for G.E. and not for execution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv4corps Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 The question has been raised in the past whether OC corps with shorter shows are judged accordingly against longer WC shows - now that everybody's on the same sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
