Crown, Cadets or Vanguard?
Guizeppe replied to Guizeppe's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Perhaps I should have expanded on the poll posting. The Cavaliers, though I have not seen them this year, are to be commended for being in the hunt this year just as they are darn near every year. Quite simply, the poll is asking who from the back (i.e. 3rd through 5th) has the best chance of landing a few knockout punches to those in front of them, perhaps all the way to the top like Phantom did last year. This was/is not a "who will win the championship" poll. In no way did I want to discredit the great job the Cavaliers members have done this year. -
The 2009 Blue Devils are pretty good, scratch that, pretty darn good....but can lightning strike twice. Quite simply, the poll is asking who from the back (i.e. 3rd through 5th) has the best chance of landing a few knockout punches to those in front of them, perhaps all the way to the top like Phantom did last year. This is not a "who will win the championship" poll. Edited for clarity

2009 Finals Prediction Contest
Guizeppe replied to Guizeppe's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
The scores are the tie breakers. If 2 people pick the exact same finishing order, then the 1st place score will be used first, then the 12th place score if there is still a tie. I'm monitoring the predictions, so if two people pick the same finishing order and the same first place score, they must have a different 12th place score. Plan9 is correct in that if this occurs, the person to pick the 12th place score first gets it and the other person will be asked to change their score. And Silver, I just happened to pick the 1982 finals results, mostly because of the top 3 finishing order...could be close to this year's. -

It's time for the 2nd annual DCP Finals Prediction Contest!!! Up for grabs this year is a brand spankin new genuine DCP mug (picture). All you have to do to take home this luxurious prize is make a prediction of final corps placements. Here is how it works. How to play: 1. Make your prediction for the top 12 corps placement on Finals night (not Quarters or Semis). 2. Come up with a score for the corps that places first and the corps that places 12th. 3. PM me with your predictions, including your first and last name and your DCP screen name. You can post it to this thread, but it won't count unless you PM me. It might be helpful to me if you post a quick "I sent mine in" or something like that to this thread so I know you're in. 4. Wait and see what happens in what could be the tightest race for the championship since...last year! Rules: - Each DCP member is allowed one entry. Once your entry is submitted you cannot change it, so think it through. You will be notified if you need to change either or both of your tie breaker scores in case of an exact duplication of corps placements and scores. - All entries must be submitted before 12:00pm Pacific time on Thursday August 6th, before quarterfinals begins. - Winner will be determined by the most accurate prediction of the top 12 corps placement, starting with your 1st place prediction and moving down through the 12th place corps. Scores will be used as a tie breaker; 1st place score as the first tie breaker, 12th place score as a second. - Winner will be notified via PM. Public announcement will follow at the consent of the winner. Good luck to everyone. If anyone would like an example of how the winner will be determined or have any other questions, let me know. Thanks to DCP for donating the prize. I will not be playing, making it less hinky. However, the following post is an example of a prediction that might have won in the past.

Compare your DCI faves to your NFL faves
Guizeppe replied to ssnapier's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Kingsman = Oakland Raiders (70's power) Blue Devils = Steelers (Consistant greatness) Vanguard = 49ers (1988/1989...proximity) Cadets = Cowboys (Love'm or hate'm, always popular) Cavaliers = Patriots (lots of titles in a quick amount of time) Phantom = Broncos (rollercoaster of success) -
BD and Boston

Guizeppe replied to Guizeppe's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Keen observation there Short. As I was quickly putting this together I noticed how this year's scores are "tighter" top to twelve then last year, i.e. less of a spread. -

Enjoy! 2009............................July 20...........................2008 1. Blue Devils (91.40).............................Blue Devils (92.45) 2.

Only two for this CA native: 2004 - Denver, CO 2007 - Pasadena, CA IMO, 2004 was magnificent, probably the best top 6 shows entertainment wise to date. Though that may change this year. -
Good review. I like the dual perspectives.
