Sanitape Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Nice to see that I'm not the only one who does spreadsheets for DCI scores. :) I've been making spreadsheets with all sorts of formulas pretty much since I marched back in 2004. I usually have multiple trends that I'm look at, like average placement over the season, average score (totaled), average score for last 3 shows, average score for last week of shows, increase from 1st show to current, increase from beginning to midseason, increase from midseason to end... etc... Then I use those number to try and predict what will happen come finals time. I always get close, but never perfectly nail the score... which just goes to show that scores are definitely unpredictable. I don't even have half the proficiency in Excel to be able to do all that! I guess you could say scores are like the weather. It's impossible to acquire all the variables needed to make a perfect prediction. You could also include the weather AS a variable in predicting scores (not just in the show but also in rehearsals/warm-ups leading up) making them THAT much more unpredictable.

Sanitape Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hmm interesting what we're seeing today. Cavaliers seem to have gotten up in the mix despite not having a score from last night. BaC seems to have fallen out of top 12 for the day (we'll see about that tomorrow night) while BK to 12th even with West coast inflation. Maybe our suspected inflation is starting to go down? It's gonna be a long time until we see Pacific Crest perform again. I'm curious if they'll keep up what they've been up to lately. Those other corps better watch out.

RDevil12 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I find it funny how the early-season scoring goes, especially where you now see Cavaliers and the Madison Scouts ahead of Phantom and Bluecoats. For example, Cavaliers have been at three shows with the Bluecoats this year, with the spread between the two growing each time (3.3, 4.65, and most recently, 5.1) But hey, I guess that's what we get early on where corps are not competing head to head every night.

Kinda how the Crossmen dug themselves into 8th last year but ended up 13th come the first regional. However, the scores were definitely not as jumpy around this time last year.

However, the scores were definitely not as jumpy around this time last year. I know what you mean. I like the parity we've seen thus far. Crown and BD, Bloo and Phantom, Troopers hanging around Blue Stars and Crossmen. Should be an interesting season going forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueByYou2000 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Last year DCI had this as part of their score page...but not this year. Thanks for making the chart. They still update score standings daily. http://dciscores.com/world/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe part of the issue is that some corps ( Phantom and Bluecoats) started the season more prepared than others (Cavaliers, Madison Scouts)???
