Biggest jump in DCI was in '74, Muchachos jumped from 9th to 3rd. Since then not a great deal of leap frogging has happened. In '92 Star of Indiana finished 1st in Quarters, 2nd in Semis and 3rd in Finals. Cavies went from 2nd to 1st and Cadets went 3rd to 2nd. That's about as big of movement other than '88 in Kansas City, when scores were not announced until finals. Corps drew for positions, within a preset parameters, such as 12-9 drew for position, 8-5 drew, 3-1 drew, IIRC. Big jumps just don't happen much because it takes a lot of a score for an individual judge to sway much, especially when doubling up on GE and Perc. I would say that the perfect storm does exist this year because so many captions are being scored with so much variance, such as the 4th place corps being tied for top GE score, or the winning corps having the 5th place percussion score or the number three corps having the number 5 score in the guard caption. It could happen.......
