As such, I received a copy of the rule book, along with specific instructions not to distribute it outside my corps. DCA is very picky about who has access to it. When we were reapplying to DCA for the 2014 season, we asked for a copy of the book so we could design our show to fit the rules, and were denied access to it. Only member corps are allowed.

I find that very hard to believe that DCA would not allow access to their rule book to their participants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm simply relaying what was told to us at the time. Perhaps other new corps applying for membership have had different experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should at least allow a representative of your corps, chaperoned by member corps personnel, to visit the secured vault where the rulebook is kept (no cameras allowed). How can it possibly be fair to have a contest, and only let certain competitors see the rules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a freakin' rule book. I have a copy...the idea that is must be kept secret is mind-numbing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display in your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for fifty of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could, but the Bucs are just that good too. They have the formula for success right now and they're sailing into the sunset with it. Obviously at some point, someone will knock them off again, and it'll be a big deal when it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with you at all. It's just that Hopkins had to hire out most of Buc's key admin folks and brass guy to beat the Bucs for C2 to win. (Yup, he pulled a Boston on Reading.) But then Gino returned to Bucs and the pendalum swung back. Not too wide an arc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
