Shadowtron Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 With the conclusion of the 2012 championships I think we can say the Blue Devils are the 4th dynasty in DCI's history. Any sports fan knows the discussion that follows: which team was the best of all time? It's difficult to place the current Blue Devils run with history because we do not know the impact their performances are yet to have on show designs and the progression of the activity. However, it's arguably much more difficult to win a championship today than 30 years ago because the level of top 8 performances have really improved. How would you rank the 4 championship runs?

Kamarag Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 You left out the Blue Devils 1994-1999 run (4 in 6 years). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bad Bari Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I would say taking the gold 37.5% of the time since the beginning of the DCI era should count as a dynasty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasPRfan Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I went for the current BD run. Largely for this reason - if Regiment hadn't had that lightning in a bottle Spartacus show in 2008, we would be looking at 5 in 6 years, including 4 in a row.... This is really splitting hairs, though. All four of these runs are equally impressive in their own ways... Harvey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowtron Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 You left out the Blue Devils 1994-1999 run (4 in 6 years). I decided to leave that out because 2 of them were ties and it was not as truly dominant a run as the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuStu Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I think Kings were better, though in my era we didn't have Yamaha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catan Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I voted Cavaliers 2000-2006. A three-peat, the longest undefeated streak in DCI history, 5 championships. Heck, even the two years they didn't win outright they placed second. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaseyW Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Cavaliers undoubtedly. No one could stop them. That's when the term green machine really meant something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
