Prelims Seeding - Saturday Benchmarks


Recommended Posts

We have the scores from Friday and there we no major surprises in terms of the Prelims seeding. Here is where we were at after Atlanta:

1. Blue Devils - 89.388 (Fri)
2. The Cadets - 89.213 (Sat)
3. Carolina Crown - 88.850 (Sat)
4. Bluecoats - 87.575 (Sat)
5. Santa Clara Vanguard - 86.950 (Fri)
6. Blue Knights - 84.088 (Fri)
7. The Cavaliers - 82.888 (Fri)
8. Phantom Regiment - 82.575 (Sat)
9. Madison Scouts - 81.338 (Sat)
10. Boston Crusaders - 79.750 (Sat)
11. Blue Stars - 79.125 (Fri)
12. Crossmen - 79.100 (Sat)
13. Troopers - 77.438 (Sat)
14. Colts - 77.113 (Sat)
15. The Academy - 75.913 (Fri)
16. Spirit of Atlanta - 73.588 (Fri)
17. Oregon Crusaders - 71.663 (Sat)
18. Mandarins - 71.625 (Fri)
19. Pacific Crest - 70.525 (Sat)
20. Cascades - 66.600 (Fri)
21. Jersey Surf - 65.913 (Sat)
22. Pioneer - 61.138 (Fri)

Using those numbers and adding in tonight's scores, we know what the Saturday corps need to do in order to improve their performance time on Thursday:

The Cadets must beat a score of 94.075 to move ahead of Blue Devils.

Carolina Crown must beat a score 94.8 of to move ahead of Blue Devils.
Carolina Crown must beat The Cadets by more than 0.725 to advance.
Bluecoats must beat Carolina Crown by more than 2.55 to advance.
Bluecoats must score a 88.025 to remain ahead of Santa Clara Vanguard.
Phantom Regiment must beat a score of 85.875 to move ahead of The Cavaliers.
Madison Scouts must beat Phantom Regiment by more than 2.475 to advance.
Boston Crusaders must beat Madison Scouts by more than 3.175 to advance.
Boston Crusaders must score a 80.425 to remain ahead of Blue Stars.
Crossmen must beat a score of 83.65 to move ahead of Blue Stars.
Troopers must beat Crossmen by more than 3.325 to advance.
Colts must beat Troopers by more than 0.65 to advance.
Colts must score a 79.625 to remain ahead of The Academy.
Oregon Crusaders must beat a score of 81.75 to move ahead of Spirit of Atlanta.
Oregon Crusaders must score a 71.2 to remain ahead of Mandarins.
Pacific Crest must beat a score of 77.25 to move ahead of Mandarins.
Pacific Crest must score a 68.7 to remain ahead of Cascades.
Jersey Surf must beat a score of 72.275 to move ahead of Cascades.
Jersey Surf must score a 64.05 to remain ahead of Pioneer.
Based on the numbers I think Cadets and Colts have a chance, everything else is probably stuck in place. NOTE: Final seeding doesn't necessarily mean final result, Phantom was seeded 4th in '08 despite getting the second-highest score at Allentown, but the better the seeding the better the chance come Indy.

Phantom scored an 86.900 last time out. Unless they manage the numbers downward tomorrow (as they seem to have tonight) that might be doable.

Do they still pod them into threes and draw randomly for prelims? Or is it a strict order based on regionals?

That jumped out to me too. Phantom passing up Cavies is very doable, despite the downward trend of scores from the TOC show. I believe it is a strict order based on regionals.

Absolutely, imo

Are Open Class corps seeded based on their scores at Michigan City, even if that places them above some World Class corps?

If it works the same as last year, all of the Open Class corps will perform based upon their scores in Michigan City and then all of the World Class corps will perform based upon the 3-score average of San Antonio, Atlanta, and Allentown. So the champion of Open Class (regardless of how high they score) will go on right before the lowest ranked World Class corps. At least that is the way it worked last year.
