yeah....I agree. Some who were 5 to six pts. from BD or Coats maybe be now 10pts down. It ALWAYS happens.

From DCI.org this is how order of appearance was determined for San Antonio LAST year.

"Results from from the July 15 events in Denver, DeKalb, Illinois, and Alexandria, Kentucky determine the performance order for the DCI Southwestern Championship presented by Fred J. Miller, Inc. in San Antonio. Once seeded in score order, corps were randomly drawn within groups of three (First through third, fourth through sixth, etc.). For corps not in any of those three shows, seeding was established by using the scores on the closest day prior to July 15."

Oh..But the Dekalb show is not a complete show. So what happens now? PR was not scored at all. Interesting.

Well.. this seems like a really weird way to do it (especially for the corps not present at either of the two competitions) but what can you do

Woof.  Hopefully DCI gives Crossmen help since they would be in the 13-15 group since they didnt take the scores.

Those three shows, as pointed out, was LAST YEAR'S formula.  For this year it is last night's scores at Denver and tonight's scores at St. Louis.

I said it was last year in my post.

edited to add: I guess I should read posts more closely before I respond, also.

Did you read the entire post?

This is how it works this year:

1. Based on the reverse order of finish at the prior year’s DCI World Championships, the performance order for each DCI Tour Event prior to the DCI Southwestern Championship will be drawn in groups of threes (1st through 3rd, 4th through 6th, etc.), with the host corps having the option of appearing last when applicable.

2. For the first major regional events of the season  — typically near the beginning of July — corps will appear in reverse order of finish from the previous year’s World Championships.

3. The Southwestern Championship draw order will be based on the combined reverse order of scores from the first major 2018 regionals in Denver and St. Louis, then drawn in groups of threes. World Class corps not appearing at the first major regional(s) will be placed in the San Antonio order based on their most recent score.

4. For all weekday shows after the Southwestern Championship, the draw order will be based on reverse order of placement from the Southwestern Championship and will be drawn in groups of three.

5. For the DCI Southeastern Championship in Atlanta, the draw order will be based on the reverse order of placement from the Southwestern Championship, then drawn in groups of three.

6. The DCI Eastern Classic in Allentown draw order for each of the two days will be based on reverse order of placement from the Southeastern Championship, then drawn in groups of threes.

7. The World Championships Prelims draw order will start with Open Class corps determined by the reverse order of finish at the Open Class World Championship, followed by the World Class corps in reverse order of the average scores of the DCI Southwestern Championship, DCI Southeastern Championship, and the DCI Eastern Classic. In the event a corps does not appear at a specific major regional event, its last score received prior to that event will be utilized in the averaging.

As in the past, it is expected that the performance order at the August 6  Open Class DCI World Championship Prelims in Michigan City, Indiana will be determined by averaging each corps’ top two scores from select events the prior week. Each corps will then perform in reverse order of those averaged scores.

They why is Madison on after Crossmen, Regiment after Cadets, and BAC and Bluecoats after Cavaliers? I believe they are doing the groups of three for St. Louis based on last years finals.
