In some ways, it would appear that the top 12 is set even though we still have 5 weeks to go in the season. Unless something crazy happens, and without any debate, the following corps are performing Saturday night: Blue Devils, Blue Knights, Bluecoats, Boston Crusaders, Carolina Crown, Phantom Regiment, Santa Clara Vanguard, The Cadets, and The Cavaliers. That is nine definite spots. After that, based on current scoring trends, Blue Stars, Crossmen and Madison Scouts will take the last three spots.

What corps has the best shot to steal a spot in Finals?

* The Troopers have a strong show this year and even edged Boston on 6/22.

* The Colts have been close to the Blue Stars/Crossmen/Madison Scouts pack as well most of the season.

* Spirit of Atlanta was scoring ahead of the Colts but was recently passed, but only by .4 - can they be ruled out?

* The Academy came on strong out west and has the potential to make the Saturday show for their first time in corps history.

* Pacific Crest scored within a point of The Academy on 6/28. Do they have something up their sleeve for a HUGE push and upset?

I'll tell you on Saturday. I need to see Boston go head to head with Blue Stars and Madison and Crossmen again, all together. They're improving for sure, but it's a little premature to even include those two in that discussion without including Boston in it as well considering how far behind they were at their last head to heads. I HIGHLY doubt that Boston is 4 points better than those two which if you compare different competitions (which is stupid) that happened last night. And they're barely ahead of Crossmen right now as of just this past weekend. Based on numbers, no idea why you didn't include them as well. No slight to Boston, but it's been too long since they've went against the Wisconsin duo to just assume they aren't in that conversation as well if you're going to include Madison/Stars.

All 4 go right in a row with no breaks on Saturday, that'll give us a pretty good insight.

When we have like 6-12 only 4 points away from each other I say it's not set. Shortly we will have more full panels and head to heads to compare. Yesterday white water had a full panel including visual proficiency while Clifton was a small panel. Of course whitewater will be lower with more on field judging. Can't wait for lacrosse and Minneapolis because that's where we get the first big h2h of the season.

Answer poll I said academy best chance to make it and crossmen most vulnerable

You don't have to worry about that anymore. That was the first week of the season and the Troopers haven't and won't sniff that pack again.

7-15 are too close right now to make that call, and some of these groups go up or down a point or two each contest. This is the week most groups will try to make major changes to improve their position. I think by Atlanta we may see one or two of these groups on the rise and one or two on the decline. Some of the shows have more point potential than others, so I think it depends more on which design teams are able to enhance their shows the most.
