According to a post made in Spandy's 2013 rankings thread last year by David Stollberg (of Atlanta CV), the Prelims seedings are based not on a corps' most recent score, nor on any average of scores, nor on a corps' highest score in August (as many people said around this time last year), but on a corps' highest score at any point in the season. (And no, last year's champion doesn't get the option of performing last.) More often than not, that does mean the most recent score is determinant, but not always.

With that in mind, before the final two shows next weekend, I think this is where things stand:

Open Class

92.60 Caballeros*

92.55 Buccaneers*

92.35 Minnesota Brass

89.85 Fusion Core*

88.60 AtlantaCV

87.35 Cadets2*

83.85 Bushwackers**

83.00 Carolina Gold*

81.20 Hurricanes**

80.35 Sunrisers**

79.35 Alliance

74.30 Windsor Regiment**

74.10 Skyliners**

72.50 Kilties

Class A

83.25 Governaires

82.80 White Sabers*

81.10 Sun Devils

71.25 Cincinnati Tradition

68.45 Excelsior**

*to appear at Reading

**to appear at Bridgeport

Edit: Are Skyliners appearing at Bridgeport? The Hurricanes' Fanfare page lists them, but DCA's listing for that show does not, and the Skyliners' calendar shows only rehearsal in Plymouth. For now, I'm assuming they will appear there.

O4. 89.60 -- Cadets2

O5. 84.40 -- Carolina Gold

A1. 84.05 -- White Sabers

White Sabers' score you have may be a tad high.

Contrarily, I'm wondering if I don't have them a bit too low. For them to improve only by 1.25 in three weeks seems unlikely, especially after checking their Scranton performance just now on the Fan Network.

Other than checking for scores, I predict a weekend off from drum corps for me. LOL.

Here goes . . . .

I fully expect Buccaneers to win this Saturday, by about 1.5. I expect them to again win at Prelims in Rochester.

From what I have witnessed, live and video, the Finals winner in Rochester will come from these two corps.

Hey Fred ... you switchin' yer prediction from the other thread where you picked the Cabs to win "by a slight margin"?

Ya can't have it both ways ...
