No "Rankings" this year from DCI.org?


Recommended Posts

Has anyone else noticed that the "scores" page over at DCI.org does not have the "rankings" tab it has included in the past?

Maybe they too have finally learned that rankings really translates as "slotting" and doesn't sell more tickets, that one really can't compare scores show to show while some shows are using short panels and some full, and that even the short panels are not consistent but are rotating captions. Only come Regionals do rankings bear any truth or weight.

In sports, like the NCAA's, rankings are more important because of the volitility amongst such a large swarth of teams. In DCI, we have not even two dozen units with little movement. Rankings may eventually relate to performance time appearences at other Regionals and Indy week, but not at this time of the season when so much is in chaotic flux.

Maybe they're waiting for all the World Class Div. Corps to start their season, so as to be ranked. Some have not even competed yet.

If you want accurate rankings just get them here on DCP.

The rankings page is still on the site: www.dci.org/scores/rankings/

Also found this in a search: "Now that Drum Corps International's World and Open Class corps have been out on the 2009 DCI Tour for a few weeks, you can once again check out DCI.org’s rankings feature to see how your favorite corps are stacking up to the competition."

Perhaps 2013 coming soon?

DCI has switched to new software to manage the scores, so they may be in process of reimplementing some of their old features to point to the new database. This already happened to some extent with the scores page (for a few days there were no dates on the dropbox of previous shows).

I think the OP wanted "rankings", not "rantings".

Just kidding!
