Antique Brass Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Ah,Yes! In any competitive endeavor when one cannot defeat one's opponent it is always best to change the rules to achieve one's goal. To quote a phrase from Carolina Gold's 2010 show, "Dum Da Dum Dum"! If you can't beat them, go home and practice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUARDLING Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 The following is the rule changes proposal that I would like to make at the next DCA Rules Congress - DCA Parity -- Rule Change Proposal Whereas, in the best business interests of Drum Corps Associates and all of its member corps, 1.1 Any DCA corps that has won three consecutive DCA Championships shall be declared a "DCA Grand Champion," and shall automatically be put into competitive-exhibition status for the following DCA World Championship. Really? and the rationale is? 1.2 Every DCA corps must allow and encourage its members to participate in I&E, and no corps is allowed to conduct an unrelated rehearsal or sectional on the I&E Performance Night. 7 Really? and the rationale is? seems like a way to destroy a corps not in the best intrest of anyone other than those who coudn't achieve without getting rid of a corps ( which isn't true ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

84BDsop Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Sorry, Lee...but #1 comes across as "The Bucs Rule" because that's the only corps likely to be affected right now. And no matter your intent, it's aimed AT Bucs....just like the voting rule (I think) seemed to be aimed at Renegades. I advise dropping the idea....really.

Sayre Kulp Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 To be fair, I don't see this as trolling. Asking a question or putting something out there for discussion is what this forum is for, after all. Though I do not agree with the proposals, I don't see the harm in presenting them for discussion.

DCC Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 How about the following amendments?... WHEREAS, if a corps wins one DCA Championship, they shall be given a stern talking to... WHEREAS, if a corps wins two consecutive DCA Championships, they shall be given a time out to think about what they have done. WHEREAS, if a corps doesn't get the message and wins a thrid DCA Championship in a row, they shall have to apologize and promise to never do it again. The following is the rule changes proposal that I would like to make at the next DCA Rules Congress - DCA Parity -- Rule Change Proposal Whereas, in the best business interests of Drum Corps Associates and all of its member corps, 1.1 Any DCA corps that has won three consecutive DCA Championships shall be declared a "DCA Grand Champion," and shall automatically be put into competitive-exhibition status for the following DCA World Championship. 1.2 Every DCA corps must allow and encourage its members to participate in I&E, and no corps is allowed to conduct an unrelated rehearsal or sectional on the I&E Performance Night. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenweaver Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 How about if any corps achieves the same placement more than 3 times in a row, they have to compete in Class A? I know, ridiculous, but in line with the rest of this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing wrong for the same corps to win consecutive titles, no matter how long the stretch is. If you're the best, then you're the best. It's up to everyone else to figure out how to beat them. I think this is more because Lee is irked that everybody and their mothers aren't going all ga ga and drooling over his corps like they use to. The novelty of "7" and "Evil" has died and Lee can't handle that. Edited January 17, 2011 by FrankBeMe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
