Fran Haring Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Sorry I forgot. ..is prelims slotted based on most recent score or highest score? I believe it's highest score. Someone with more knowledge of these things can probably come on here and let us know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2B or not 2B Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Though it may not happen. With Atlanta CV doing so well this year. (Even with Cab's, Empire, Cadets 2, all doing so well also) If Atlanta CV came in third (medalist). Would they be the FIRST Corps to come out of a Class A start to do that? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidwestGiant Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 It is based on highest score in August. Which is why it is inherently flawed. It is not possible for non-eastern corps to have a travel weekend the weekend before the biggest travel weekend of the year. They would get home on Monday and then have to leave for out east on Wednesday. So essentially that gives the corps who have shows a weekend before finals, and a smaller travel budget, a really large advantage in getting the highest score. While going on last in prelims isn't a guarantee of a finals victory, certainly it is an advantage. That is undeniable. There should be a better system than one that is based on scores from shows thousands of miles away on different weekends. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeCellR8 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I wish there was a like button for this statement. It truly is an unfair advantage to those west and south. It probably won't change anytime soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidwestGiant Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 hasn't seemed to hurt MBI or Govies in the past. just sayin How do you figure? No sour grapes here, but the one time MBI went on after the Bucs, due to a hurricane no less, was the only time that they won. Going on later changes the mindset of the performing group and the perception of the ensemble. It may be the difference between playing with the sun in your face. It does matter and should be decided on a weekend that everyone has a chance to compete. Another system would be better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
