But is there enough of a feel for things to consider the skipped trip to Indy last year mostly irrelevant for SCV, BD, and Crown? 2 minutes ago, ThePlanets said: Yes. At least for BD and SCV. Along with the Bluecoats these groups seem to be far and away better than the next tier. My peek of Crown was a YouTube video. I wasn't overly impressed but I will reserve judgment especially since I wasn't impressed too much with Boston's show design or the Cavaliers either. I feel like Friday will give us a much better picture of where Crown stands. I feel they are most likely in the 3-4 race and a bridge between the top tier and the next tier- which is where they left off in 2019. Well, some of us are "YouTube Certified" complete with a shingle for our office wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly makes the Broken Arrow, OK show all that more important. As we used to say BITD, July 4 was the time the men started being separated from the boys. Now that's just pushed back a little. The OK Corral. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t think it was relevant, though I always know I might be wrong. Some early comments throughout DCP suggesting it would matter. Hoping to see things live at Muncie.

George Dixon Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) So, I see "Overreaction Wednesday" is upon us. Next Boston will open up a larger gap on Cavaliers and close in on Bluecoats & everyone will overreact to that lol - even though this sort of skewed early season read happens almost every year It takes a while for the "judging community" to decide who's hot and who's not... Right now, they're busy swiping left or right in their top-secret judges app. 😂 The picture will become clear(er) by San Antonio. Don't overreact, and IMO don't forget about Crown!

I like these. I think Cavaliers will do what they almost always do and take care of Boston by around Atlanta. So I’d switch those two. And I’m not completely sold on SCV yet… but it’s early… Edited June 29, 2022 by PopcornEater1963 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopcornEater1963 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 My Predictions: ( Cadets/Blue Knights not listed because I’ve seen nothing) 1. Blue Devils 2. Crown (more info needed) 3. Bluecoats 4. Cavaliers 5. SCV 6. Boston 7. Phantom 8. Mandarins 9. Blue Stars 10. Crossmen Add in Cadets and Blue Knights somewhere and that’s my Top 12. cadets likely at 7. Blue Knights likely at 8. Both based on past history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, they're busy swiping left or right in their top-secret judges app. 😂 Not really. In 2018, BD beat Vanguard at the 1st and 3rd show (by under a point) - Vanguard won everything else. No one challenged them. In 2019, Vanguard beat Devils at the first 4 shows, all by under a point. Devils then passed them up for good. In 2019, Bluecoats reigned unchallenged out east, and Devils and Bluecoats flip-flopped to the end. No one else challenged them. In 2017, Devils went undefeated and beat Vanguard by under a point most of the season. Bluecoats beat Vanguard by under a point at their first meeting and never challenged them again. If you're 2 points down from someone right now it's just not going to happen. I doubt Vanguard is going top Devils and I doubt Boston is going to top Bluecoats. It's just unlikely to happen. We just don't see a lot of up and down movement through the entire season. Some, but not very much at all.
