CrownBariDad Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) NOTE: I'm trying to work around the 403 FORBIDDEN error, so I'll be editing/adding to this initial post until it is complete or I give up. Please be patient. Edit: Maybe -- it's working now. I don't know if this will work or not, but: What if (for one season) every Corps that has won the DCI World Championship competed in a special "Champions only" class? What would the remaining World Class Top 12 look like? This works out nice since there are 22 WC Corps, 8 (active) have won the Championship, leaving 14 to pick from. Pick your new 2019 Top 12 (or 14) MINUS the following Corps: Blue Devils The Cadets The Cavaliers Santa Clara Vanguard Madison Scouts Phantom Regiment Carolina Crown Bluecoats I'm not really good at racking and stacking, but here goes: 1. Boston Crusaders 2. The Academy 3. Music City 4. Mandarins 5. Blue Stars 6. Crossmen 7. Spirit of Atlanta 8. Troopers 9. Pacific Crest (my homer pick) 10, Colts 11. Blue Knights 12. Genesis 13. Cascades 14. Jersey Surf I realize many folks may need to wait until shows/reps are announced, so you ARE allowed to change your mind.

ThePlanets Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Interesting topic. Logically speaking based on recent standings. 1. Boston. They run away and are undefeated for the season. 2. Blue Stars (peaking at 2nd again!) 3. Blue Knights 4. Mandarins 2-4 battle throughout the season but this the order they finish in 5. SOA 6. XMen 7. Academy 8. Troop 9. MCDC 10. Colts The 5-10 group is relatively tight throughout the season but not as crazy of a battle as 2-4 11. Pacific Crest PC is on their own island the whole season 12. Genesis 13. Cascades 14. Surf The bottom group is somewhat close too. While I love MCDC and the Academy I wouldn't see them making THAT big of a jump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madison Scouts were not part of the original G7 plan... there are 8 here. But its darn close to the original G7 in this first A grouping. I would not want to speculate on who would win, nor place where, in the Class B group... its a fantasy grouping by now anyway, and would never happen to even give it much thought any more on who would be the winner, nor the remaining Top 12 in that particular fantasy division any more.

While I love MCDC and the Academy I wouldn't see them making THAT big of a jump This is a closer to what I was thinking as well with maybe the exception of Mandarins placement wise. I would like to see one more strong and consistent year from them before I go all in. I think I might bump SOA up to 4th. I have no other reason than consistency to say that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herk Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I think it would a shoot out between Boston and BK for #1 and #2. The rest, I don't care about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was one of the aims of this thread -- to discuss some of the other Corps who don't get as much attention during the season. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
