thirdcoast Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Brilliant. Let's make sure the OP is well educated on the original proposal, with no mention of the ACTUAL CURRENT agreement. Lame. I was expecting you to bop in on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BozzlyB Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Well there is definitely two sides to the issue. Those against the TOC shows fire off their doomsday scenarios and refuse to look past an old proposal that never passed. Those who have taken the time to look at the current TOC format understand it is nothing more than the addition of several shows featuring the top 8 from the previous year, with corps having the ability to compete, move up into the top 8 at DCI finals and being included in the TOC shows the following year as a reward for that placement. Of course, they COULD be masking an underground comunist attempt at overtaking DCI and thus, the world.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartans87 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Let him know the "Current Agreement"? He did not ask about the "Current Agreement". Feel free to enlighten him on the "Current Agreement" though, since you feel it is so important. People need to relax around here. To jump in such a negative way is not necessary. The OP asked a question, and it was answered with quotes and fact. simple and straight forward. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think its safe to say that if he's confused about the G7 idea that he would be also confused about the current agreement and the proposed agreement and making a distinction is important for his overall understanding.

It's like asking what the Health Care Reform bill was all about and posting a link to the first House proposal and totally ignoring the incarnation of the bill that was actually signed into law. That's just me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangerous... Right. But it's not reality. The reality is that cooler heads prevaled, an extremely watered down version of the proposal was implemented. Hop, Gibbs, etal were removed from the board and on and on. The response strikes me as nothing more than an attempt to get another person "on their side". I have no problem with relaying the original proposal. But leaving it at that with no mention of what 2011 will actually be like is disingenuous, IMO.

In answer to the OP, there was an early proposal and reaction to the G7. IMO this was a brilliantly strategic move. A purge of the DCI BOD insued, along with a great outcry from DCP and from other quarters. The season concluded with nothing more being said officially or otherwise. Then as the new season emerged, items from the G7 punch list began to appear on the 2011 schedule. Tic Toc Tic Toc......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
