I have some really vivid memories about some of the DIV II and III champs getting to go on to DIV I prelims........some of those corps even became known as "giant killers." Even though that DCI chose to eliminate the opportunity for those corps to have a chance to compete.....citing the extra cost associated with keeping a corps through a few more days of competiton. It would be nice if DCI would fund the cost of the extra housing for two nights to allow DIV II and III champs a chance to knock on the door of the top 17. We all know that there are at minimum four corps that could make a substantial run at the top 17. Even with the extra cost associated.........DCI, could at least offer the opportunity for the DIV II/III two highest scorers the chance to compete...and to actually opt out if they couldnt afford to stay. Then they could defer to the next corps with the highest score. But, that would spell disaster to some of the lower DIV I corps.
