Time for NO size limit in WC (or at least up it from 150)


Recommended Posts

Against this entirely. Shows would not become more appealing or musically better by cramming more bodies onto what is already a very crowded field. Then you add exponentially more cost, not just in buses but food, Insurance and management.

Its also undeniable that the older and more experienced members would always gravitate to the top six corps. This is why the NCAA adopted hard roster limits for all scholarship sports. Bigger name schools with more resources would just sign kids to stand on the sideline to keep them from competing with them at another school.

the fields are so not crowded at 150 

many TOP corps barely explore outside the 30s or the back half

watch Crown 2016 as an example - you could fit that program on a tennis court lol

And the sniff test says..... G7 now proposed as G9.

this proposal was made prior to "G7" 

it will happen - just a matter of time

the dinos will hate it - and then it will grow the activity once again that the dinos nearly killed off

  True enough. As a matter of fact,  we all here know a Corps with non FE that had a entire section in their Corps not move 5 yards in either direction the entire show performance... and that Corps had 155 in the summer's show.

 That said, its clear that there is little support here on DCP to expand beyond the current 155... and more importantly, there is little to no sentiment among the Corps themselves to even begin to consider expanding beyond 155, let alone secure enough votes to do so. The reason expansion to beyond 155 is not up for consideration... by even the so called "TOP " Corps... is because more than one of them is having trouble trying to come up with the money to finance 155 performers for the summer competition tours, let alone 200 or more of them. So this is a non starter issue in DCI right from the getgo at the moment it would appear.

I thought it was 150. When did it change to 155?

after watching most of BOA finals tonight, with the amount of bodies and the props craziness, 150 is more than enough
