But I'm guessing that is what you are all about. Last Word Stu, at all costs. Second: You'd be correct, I should know the rules going in. Only point: Since you admit that you should know the rules going in, your post about 'not being happy' with any bump in classification would thus be childish whining. Word.

IllianaLancerContra Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 W/r/t scoring, I suggest the standards should be the same across all classes - there is a single standard, & in 2017 Blue Devils were closest to that standard. Open vs World distinction should be based on the financial ability of the Corps to tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it sucks that those groups have no recourse other than accept the "promotion" or stay home. It seems, in a way, that it's almost like a group being punished, at least short-term, for getting better. depends on the group. Some now it and try to sandbag and pray they dont get bumped 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if anyone walks into OC in WGI and complains about the game and rules of getting bumped up to WC, shame on them, or you. i'm not whining. show the flaw in the system, but not whining.

They have made WC Finals 5 of the past 6 years. On what basis does anyone have a leg to stand on claiming they should not have been promoted? at the time, the goal was for it to be a feeder of Pulse. Since then they've adjusted the mission and focus of the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is no flaw in the system; you just do not like it that the higher scoring units can get bumped up to even out class numbers; that is not a flaw just something you do not like. And 'that' is whining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you are saying; you do not like the things you do not like; but that does not make those things flaws; just part of the system you do not like. Big difference.
