Scores from Friday are up- and just think, a week from tomorrow, corps will be marching off against each other in championship competition! My, how this season has flown!

Saturday's events:

World Class corps compete at their last focus shows of the season at J. Birney Crum Stadium in Allentown PA and the Georgia Dome in Atlanta GA.

Scores are up- and are very interesting! The Columbus contingent of corps are making a LOT of noise late in the season and looking to shake things up headed into finals week? Could we be seeing a new champion crowned in world class for the first time in a few seasons?

Tomorrow's events:

Coming out of a busy day in Allentown, corps up north have a choice of events to attend. MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford NJ opens its cavernous doors to more than 2 dozen corps. Meanwhile, the event scheduled at Massillon OH has been relocated back an old favorite that we haven't been to in a while- Fawcett Stadium in Canton OH.

And down south, one of the biggest events gears up as the Southern Star Cup, Star of Jupiter's long-time home event, will once again host another packed house in Brighthouse Network Stadium in Orlando FL.

And here's the schedule for tomorrow, the last day of the regular season. Just two events on the schedule, at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo NY and OVT's home show at Laidley Field in Charleston WV (which is expected to return to Edwards Stadium in Huntington next season).

Will there be a 1 point bonus for each night corps advance like before?

Matt can chime in but we have not used a point bonus per round for a long time.

I believe there is a 2 caption change allowed after each advancing round but caption limits have been reached, 85/115/150.

Yeah, I don't remember a point bonus for as long as I've been playing. I think it might have been proposed at some point and defeated.

2 captions after every show is the only change I know of between Prelims/Semis/Finals.

Correct, that's the way it's been for several seasons now.

Well, this is it- FINALS WEEK is here! Months of effort has come down to 3 days of performances to determine who takes home the top prize in our 20th season.

M&T Bank Stadium will be the site for all world class events as well as Saturday's finals for all divisions, while Towson University and Stevenson University in the suburbs of Towson and Owings Mills, respectively, provide their stadiums as the sites for the Open Class and Class A prelims and semifinals events.

I've admittedly fallen behind on the Sweepstakes standings, which will be updated to reflect the regular season leaders by the end of today.
