Jeff Ream Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 1 hour ago, Spatzzz said: Your initial argument seemed to be that DCI was allowing them to compete in WC when they are more competitively aligned with the OC corps isn their scoring range. Now you are jumping to DCI membership which again wasn't the argument you were making to start with. The fact is that being allowed to compete in WC has way more to do with finances than it does competitiveness. Yes, they also look at the strength of the organization as a whole. Your initial argument seemed to be a rant on them being in the wrong class competitively, if that wasn't the case then I think we can move on. Scores have nothing to do with class and hasn’t for years 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any sort of rescue operation will involve YEA level housecleaning, with the entire BOD resigning and a new management team in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spatzzz Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Pioneer is done. Cadets were able to survive due to a large and active alumni community. Pioneer doesn't have that. I would love to be wrong and see some people step up and make something out of this awful situation but I don't see it happening.

BRASSO Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 14 minutes ago, Jeff Ream said: Scores have nothing to do with class and hasn’t for years Exactly. Music City was allowed to move up to World Class Division from Open Class, yet was scoring lower in the Open Class than other Open Class Corps.
