hostrauser Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 For those who need a refresher course on how I compile these, I track each corps' performances for the entire week, even estimating what they would have scored at a show even though they had the day off (basing this off the scores of other corps that they have been in direct competition with). As this ranking is based off the entire week, rankings are usually BELOW the corps' most recent or highest score. This is not an attempt to predict the future, just a snapshot of how the corps has performed over the entire week. Weekend shows (Fri/Sat/Sun) are usually better attended are thus given more weight in the ranking. Rankings run Monday through Sunday each week, with the newest rankings to be posted each Monday. And now I present to you, for your perusal and histrionics... HOSTRAUSER'S DCI RANKINGS - WEEK 4 (7/11 - 7/17) WORLD CLASS 85.95 The Cavaliers 84.85 Carolina Crown 84.60 The Cadets 84.50 Blue Devils 82.50 Bluecoats 81.80 Phantom Regiment 80.90 Santa Clara Vanguard 80.15 Madison Scouts 79.25 Blue Stars 78.70 Boston Crusaders 78.35 Blue Knights 75.10 Spirit of Atlanta ------------------------------------ 75.00 Troopers 74.50 Glassmen 74.30 The Academy 73.35 Crossmen 73.30 Colts 72.00 Mandarins 69.70 Pacific Crest 69.20 Teal Sound 66.90 Cascades 65.10 Jersey Surf 61.50 Pioneer OPEN CLASS (so far) 81.35 Blue Devils B 80.15 Vanguard Cadets 74.85 Revolution 74.55 Spartans 74.50 Oregon Crusaders 74.20 Impulse 74.10 Gold 70.80 7th Regiment 70.00 Velvet Knights 67.85 Spokane Thunder 66.55 Colt Cadets 66.10 Legends 62.45 Raiders 61.50 Les Stentors 58.55 Blue Devils C 55.30 City Sound 49.10 Racine Scouts 45.55 Blue Saints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have met twice and Troopers have tied and beaten SOA. I think that Troopers are the real deal and will definately make a few more people believers by the end of the season. :thumbup: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiriusSoprano Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I bet troopers will beat Spirit in Texas and all the polls will STILL have Spirit over troop. Haha. I like Spirit this year but people are hyping there show a bit too much. Anyways I think both corps are pretty #### even. Fun to watch. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phan771 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) I bet troopers will beat Spirit in Texas and all the polls will STILL have Spirit over troop. Haha. I like Spirit this year but people are hyping there show a bit too much. Anyways I think both corps are pretty #### even. Fun to watch. :) This poll and others like it are not based on opinion, but on different statistical analysis based on the poll's designer's choices of how scores are averaged and weighed. So if Troopers continue to outscore Spirit, the ranking will reflect such. Both shows are fun to watch. Troops show is very shallow to me and does not seem worthy of a final's spot because there is little risk or box 5 challenges or exposures. Spirit's show, the three times I have seen it, comes across to me as being in a whole other league from a construction stand point, and I feel it is being executed better at this time. Certainly when I look at the criteria for music and visual GE, SOA seems to be aiming for box 5 construction and reward and Troop middle of box 4.

SiriusSoprano Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I agree! I think spirit will best troopers in the end ( even though I HATE voice recording!!!). When I said "polls" I meant opinion polls. Sorry I wasn't clear. I know this is not a poll, it's a ranking list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
