Season 28 - DCPI Sweepstakes

[hostrauser]

Now that we have a few shows under our belts, here's the first Sweepstakes standings of the new season. As a reminder, all shows with SW before them on the schedule are Sweepstakes shows. For all shows on that date, the overall Top 6 (all shows combined) in each class will receive the following points: 1st=10, 2nd=6, 3rd=4, 4th=3, 5th=2, 6th=1.

I'm sure there is an answer to this somewhere that I haven't found, but what is the motive behind the sweepstakes shows? Is there a prize or something involved? Thanks in advance

Just bragging rights. It was started as a way to measure which corps were the most consistently excellent throughout the entire season, as opposed to just "getting hot" during Finals week.

Down the stretch we come! The final point increase has been instituted, and there are only four Sweepstakes dates left to go (8/4, 8/9, 8/10, 8/11). We have two tight races and one potential runaway in the Sweepstakes standings...
