hostrauser Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 For the uninitiated, the DCPI Sweepstakes is an ongoing tally of who the best-performing corps are in each Class for the duration of the season. Shows that are eligible for sweepstakes points are marked "SE" (Sweepstakes Event) on the schedule. Usually these are major Friday or Saturday shows. The top six corps in each class earn sweepstakes points, in descending order from 1st to 6th: 10, 6, 4, 3, 2, and 1 sweepstakes point. The two sweepstakes events that have occurred so far this season: 6/13 - Bowling Green, KY 6/20 - All events combined Here are the first DCPI Sweepstakes Standings of the season... WORLD CLASS: 14 The Knights 10 Tri-State Troubadors 6 Knights of Power 6 West Texas Thunder 4 Mystre 3 California Knights 3 Nastalgia Vanguard 2 Ohio Valley Thunder 2 The Thoroughbreds 1 Buckeye Brass 1 Violet Knights OPEN CLASS: 11 The Colonels 10 Star of Hawaii 9 Buckeye Brass B 6 Les Blanc Chevaliers 4 Mercury 4 Spirit of Indy 3 J.R.D.C. 2 Huddersfield Hundred 2 Knights of Sound 1 Neptune CLASS A: 10 Buckeye Brass C 10 Knights of Note 6 Hamburg Junior Buccaneers 6 White Chords 5 Cross 5 Port Washington Lights 3 Hg 3 Pluto 2 Mirfield Lockmen 2 Nastalgia Percussion Ensemble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleran Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) NVM - i just gathered that all corps at any competition yesterday were treated for sweepstakes points like they were at the same competition.
