  1. OK, I could not wait, so here is my DCPA idea. There is two parts to the season: regular season and finals week! or Regular is points ala VCL. Every corps has the same points on week one. You earn points for placement and caption wins. You do this till finals week. Finals week uses real captions but not everyone has the same points! Salary cap has a base but you got your bonus points from the regular season added to it! This is realistic... Some corps impove while some do not as much. The best corps in the regular season have the best shoot. Since we have finals week captions, we can use real scores and knowing dca is to your advantage! I'll write a detail version if anybody wishes.
  2. No... It wont punish the top directors. I would of won season 5 with one corps :P In season 4, I had 1 corps per divison and swept the live season. Now lets say i had menagerie in div1 and made finals... how did that help the league? Nope... didn't help one bit. The hard part is folding your corps or picking which corps to drop a div. The end result is more directors in the big dance and more corps in the league. More happy directors and a more active league...THAT MEANS MORE FUN FOR ALL! Now I have a fantastic idea for an all age fantasy league! It would use captions and points! I'll post it tomorrow:)
  3. Yeah, I'm out but I still lurk around. I'll throw in my two cents. I've been in numerous fantasy league (FDCI, FDC, VCL, DCPI) and there is two routes a league can go: 1. A system based on actuall corps numbers (DCPI, FDCI, DCP). 2. A system based on submited points (VCL) While I agree with Harry that there really needs to be a DCP-A, I can't agree with him that this system needs to change. It is based on DCI and uses real caption and while it is true with number crunching could get you places, it is not 100% true. Back when I did FDCI, I started in the back of the pack. I notice that corps that placed well had something in common and I changed my corps to reflect that. I did one change and made finals. It is not captions guys, it's math. Knowing something about DCI helps... Where does the corps score the most, who is strong visually, who has a solid drumline, which "weaker" corps has a strong section? I have a good memory and when I won that last offseason, I did it minus a spreadsheet. I looked at recaps do decided 1 caption (ok... who scored bettter in brass during this time of the season, 01 BD or 04 BD?) and made my pick. Looking at this league from a distance, I see one thing that will help and I know many directors wont like it: ONE CORPS PER DIVISION PER DIRECTOR Reason is: There are about 5 directors that can do the number chrunching well and they will get 2 corps into finals. That's 10 spots! Nobody likes to loose to the same people. While it might make for an Elite 6 (ala real DCI), you will have multiple corps fighting for 6 other spots not 1!!! Lets look at the current season shall we? Here is the current top 12: Cross Oracle Mystré Sunrise Surf Star of Jupiter Kosmos White Stars Nastalgia Kadence Kingsmen The Enginers Inergy ----------- The Knights Lets look at this closer, the corps in bold are part of 2 corps run by the same director. Cross/Star (Mitch), Oracle/Mystré (go CloudHype!!), Kosmos/ Kadence (Matt B.) Italizied corps are part of a 2 corps group Sunrise/Knights (Gary), The Enginers/PRK (Scott). The Knights are in 13th, almost 10 corps in top 12 by 5 directors! I would put money on the fact if Matt Smith had his two corps in, 11 spots would be covered by 6 directors!! See the problem? FDCI in its it glory days would have the same top corps (Scarlet Knights, Pacific Knights, Satan Acralac Drugavan, Neil Hamilton's corps, Queen Mutha and Sean Taylors corps (he ran VCL)) around FDCI 6, you added my corps to the mix as I went from low placing finalist to a top 5 corps (ala Bluecoats). Places 7-12 rotated but Steve Burstell was usually in finals. Around FDCI 14-15 (when I wasn't competing) a director noticed a loop hole and put all 3 of his corps in Div I. Thus the destruction of FDCI began. Also in FDCI 6, a nonactive director won the live seasonand thus went most of the activity of the league. Why am I bringing this up? Well for the future of DCPI to thrive, certain changes have to be done and some have already taken place. If I was running for President of DCPI and I had a platform to run on, this would be it. 1. Corps entry, both Caption entry and Tour entry must be done through a "Web Form" system. No email, No manual work on the directors side. Saves them time and makes for a more accurate system. 2. One corps per director per division. Increses the competiton and makes for more of a "real life" type of results. 3. Try to find a way to bring back DCP-A. As a point generated league!
  4. During last years finals, I went through a unique situation that required me to fold Mystré. Shortly befor this event happened, I was aproached by a director on how to form and create a corps. I advise this person and they created a corps. Also, I've tought this person everything I know on how to run a corps, pick captions, etc.... Well this person recently asked if they could use the Mystré name. Well I came on DCPI and lurked arround and saw that Mystré got dead last at the Peach Cobbler Classic. Well this is no way for my corps to leave!!!!! I quickly sent an Email to my understudy and told them that they could have my corps name and use it under a few conditions. 1) The corps will be based in Las Vegas. 2) The look and style of the corps remains intact. 3) The corps performs there first preseason show on valve/rotor bugles 4) Mystré has been and is always the leader in trash talking, and that they will do nothing to soften the image of Mystré. 5) The corps will continue to kick but! 6) The only mention of my name is as the founder of Mystré 7) To end post with: See you guys next season ^0^ When you KNOW you have a caption change in and you are about to kick another corps butt!!!! 8) Mystré is not tied into any organization or the directors current organization. The director agreed!!! I am pleased to say that [/i]CloudHype is the new director of Mystré. I'll leave the rest to CloudHype. I'm now out of this and kind of in envy, the new site looks AWSOME!!! Best of luck to all S.J. -Founder of Mystré DCPI 4&5 Champions DCPW 4,5,6 Champions
  5. Ok... It's been a few months for me on DCP and here is my last post ever. Of course, I have to put it on the DCPI forum. :P I'm not going into any detail into what happened that has made me decided to leave DCP because it dosen't need to be know. No, I was not banned. :P First thanks goes to Steve for allowing me to continue Mystré during finals week, and for those that put up some post for me. I'm not going into any detail into what happened that has made me decided to leave DCP because it dosen't need to be know (No, I was no banned or anything in that respect). To the friends I've made in DCPI, you have my number, call me but don't give it out. The past 3 seasons have been a blast for me. Playing the bad guy was new for me, as I was a "good" guy in FDCI. Rivalries are fun and so is sweeping your first season in DCPI :) ..... You think I'm not going to brag on my way out. B) ^0^ Voted into the DCPI Hall of Fame is perty cool too. Nice to see FANFARE in good hands with Matt Smith at the helm. Matt B.: It was great to have Kosmos as my first rival, and designing "The Big" together. Your storyline along with my music ideas made for a cool show idea. Matt S: Seeing Scades rehearse was great, and it was nice to see kids LEARNING. If you guys come back to BAMA, hopefully you'll be in a town with something more then a Mc Donald's for lunch. Good luck as FANFARE President, it comes with the dual title of being the most hated director in DCPI too. :) Mitch: The torch of FDCI power into DCPI domination has been handed off to you. Have fun ^0^ Rookie Directors: Stay active and have fun. Design show, uniforms and the like. If you don't do well, don't give up. Learn and come back stronger!.... AND KEEP UP WITH YOUR CAPTIONS!!! I wish all the directors the best and like to give away the secret to my sucess..... Talk Trash... LOTS OF TRASH!!!!! ^0^ j/k Stay active, and have fun! That's the secret. Oh... Keep up with your captions too. I'll be lurking. Shannon
