Question About Ties


Recommended Posts

I know there have been ties for champions in the past and even in lower places (such as 5th place in 2002), but I'm curious as to what happens if two corps tie for 12th in the Semifinals. Do 13 corps go to finals? Is there a hierarchy of tiebreakers to ensure only 12 corps? Has this ever happened before?

Yes, I believe it happened in 1977 that there were 13 corps in Finals. It's probably the most rare of ties.

I also remember in 2005 where Mandarins and Cascades tied in both Quarterfinals and Semifinals, so there was a bonus corps in Semis as well.

That's a great question. I have often wondered that as well.
