Florida Sun Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 well i guess that puts Bucs on top of the ranking ladder till next week ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Another chance to guess wrong? Sure, I'll take it. So how badly did I do? Downington 1. 85.44 Buccaneers -- actual: #1 86.90 (+1.46) 2. 82.45 Cadets2 -- actual: #2 82.65 (+0.20) 3. 79.30 Bushwackers -- actual: #4 78.75 (-0.55) 4. 74.65 White Sabers -- actual: #3 78.95 (+4.30) 5. 70.98 Skyliners -- actual #5 71.75 (+0.77) 6. 65.60 Excelsior -- actual #6 65.70 (-0.10) Dallas: 1. 84.45 Atlanta CV -- actual #1 81.50 (-2.95) 2. 76.55 Carolina Gold -- actual #3 70.55 (-6.00) 3. 72.13 Alliance -- actual #2 70.90 (-1.23) Tut, tut. Not so good: guessed fewer than half the scores within a point. Nice job White Sabers, although I see they did even better at this show last year before dropping the next week. Here's hoping it doesn't happen this year. Speaking of dropping, sorry to see Carolina Gold fall so far from their Fayetteville number.

I thought their score was a little low. You can tell the work they have done to clean up their ensemble issues. They did struggle with their opener, but cleaned it up considerably from previous weeks. I was thinking 87.7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Windish Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I was not at Downington. But, the reports I have been getting this morning tell me the Buccaneers have made DRAMATIC, even uncanny, improvement since Grand Prix ! If true, the entire complexion of the season changes. Nothing bad in that. I figured Bucs would start slowly. They are said to have faced a huge turnover in membership. Maybe their additional practice time and building confidence is starting to show. For certain, Caballeros will knuckle down, and with Minnesota Brass anticipated to be solid, the season's end will be special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
