X DM Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 This whole "the Semis champ always wins Finals" thing has to die sometime. It won't go on forever.And it might die tonight. I hear you. Statistically, mathamaticians will tell you that the trend should have ended long ago too. That's why we can be ok with this in my view.

decompressed Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Way too close to call....my guess is that whoever has the better show tonight (Cadets or BD) will win! Now there is some insight for you! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X DM Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 They are certainly in a good position, but I'd definitely not bet money on this prediction. But see, that's where I WOULD bet my money on this. But people can wait too. No big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 But see, that's where I WOULD bet my money on this. But people can wait too. No big deal. yes - how about we let the corps actually "go through the motions" of performing tonight!! Geez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X DM Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 (edited) yes - how about we let the corps actually "go through the motions" of performing tonight!!Geez. I do think we'll see movement somewhere from 2nd to 12th tonite which will make things interesting. We do see movement each year in those positions, and we can expect a surprise or two tonite there in my opinion. So it still will make for an interesting night in my view. For Corps 2nd-12th, most people will not remember where they finished in the Quarters and Semi's years from now, so for these Corps tonight it is my no means a " go thru the motions " night. ( nor I might add for BD. BD just needs not to do a thoroughly bad performance tonite, and it's theirs ) Edited August 11, 2007 by X DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingJoeVII Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I have little doubt on that ). BD won ALL the major head to head regional championships, including the ALL IMPORTANT semi's last night. Long time followers of DCI know that when you win the Semi's is pretty much a lock to win the Finals. logical fallacy much??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dccorpsfan Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 You gotta wonder...how ugly with things get if this thing ends in a tie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X DM Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 (edited) You gotta wonder...how ugly with things get if this thing ends in a tie? Good point. I would not rule out that scenario. I doubt it though. Either way, BD will be Champion or at worst Co- Champion. I just don't see any other possibility that involves BD not being crowned champion tonight. I really don't. I think BD's win margin will be between 3-7 tenths. But we'll see. Edited August 11, 2007 by X DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburstall Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I hear you. Statistically, mathamaticians will tell you that the trend should have ended long ago too. That's why we can be ok with this in my view. I think someone did this a few years ago. I'll redo the math and come back with an answer on Monday if, statistically, if a corps wins semi's they win finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
