SiFrySopUK Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 So does anyone think Spirit still have a chance of placing in top 12? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know that we'll have a good handle on that until prelims scores are in Thursday night. In any event, a tremendous season for Spirit regardless of which day their last performance occurs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been out of it a few years but...... it’s not JUST the prelims and finals score now that get you in but a running culmutive score throughout the season? That’s the impression I got from an article on DCI.org. If true, that would mean it would be really hard to get the average up unless other corps scores DROP. Is this correct?

No, the prelims score gets you into semi’s, the semi score gets you into finals. The average scores of the regionals, this year only San Antonio and Atlanta due to Allentown’s Friday rainout of the final corps determine prelims performance order for WC. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I misunderstood. I loved the fact that back in the day a late season charge could land you in the finals. Would suck to have to make up for low early show scores especially when lots of complicated drill and scores don’t really lock in till later. Thanks.

I do, and Spirit could have a sudden surge of adrenaline at semi’s, but you’d probably need a lackluster performance from Crossmen and I don’t think you can disregard Academy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
