MotoSurfBass Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) The DCI Season is officially upon us! Which means, lots of futile comparisons of corps performing across the country from each other... HOWEVER. Three judges judged both the Tour Premiere in Detroit AND the MidCal Showcase in Clovis. While "different show, different day" is certainly in play here, judging on back-to-back days in the same caption may certainly give an early idea of where some judges are tying the two (soon to be three) tours together. So without further ado, here are the rankings of those 15 World and Open Class corps by these three judges: BRASS (Albert Lo) 1. Santa Clara Vanguard - 14.6 2. Bluecoats - 14.5 3. Blue Devils - 14.3 4. Carolina Crown - 14.2 5. The Cavaliers - 13.7 6. Boston Crusaders - 13.5 7. Blue Knights - 13.1 8. Phantom Regiment - 12.8 9. The Academy - 12.7 10. Blue Stars - 12.6 11. Mandarins - 12.5 12. Troopers - 11.6 13. Blue Devils B - 11.2 14. Vanguard Cadets - 10.6 15. Blue Devils C - 6.3 VISUAL ANALYSIS (Tim Ochran) 1. Blue Devils - 15.2 2. Santa Clara Vanguard - 14.5 3. Carolina Crown - 13.3 4. Blue Knights - 13.0 5. Bluecoats - 12.8 6. The Cavaliers- 12.7 7. Mandarins - 12.4 8. Boston Crusaders - 12.1 9. The Academy - 12.0 10 Blue Devils B - 11.4 11.

Bluecoats - 14.5 3. Carolina Crown - 14.4 4. Blue Devils - 14.2 5. Santa Clara Vanguard - 13.9 6. Boston Crusaders - 13.8 7. Blue Knights - 13.4 T8. Phantom Regiment - 12.9 T8. Mandarins - 12.9 10.

Rich Saucedo gave them a 14.6 which would put them first in his caption. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) DCP already has a section for overall scores, and caption breakdowns. Its been on here and utilized by us DCP'ers for years too. Its under the DCP " Scores and Stats tab "... then under " Caption Ranking System ". Perhaps the OP is simply unaware and/ or unfamiliar with it ?. DCP even ranks the Corps throughout the season on here too. Edited June 23, 2018 by BRASSO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corps8294 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 San Antonio and Atlanta are about the time that it's safe to start hitting the concern and panic buttons in regards to medaling or not medaling, making the top 12 or not making the top 12. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They basically stood at attention till the last couple of minutes " completed " their show and time. One would naturally assume under such circumstances their Visual scores/ GE Music scores would jump once they put in at least SOME closer of at least SOME kind. But once they did, they were going head to head with Corps in their peer group placement mix, and so there basically was no substantive change witnessed at all. So yes, the head to head match ups are the most critical. Plus, judges are human too. Like all of us, they prefer to get extended times to see/ hear all the Corps more than once... especially with Corps adding/ deleting things in their shows left and right. They're all making changes of some sort in the early going. Every Corps is,. Edited June 23, 2018 by BRASSO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
