dureau Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Does anyone else beside me think that the order of performance at each show should be different. It would make it more intriguing for the fans to not have the leader last and down from there. Not in finals but in the other shows. I also think it could make the whole event more competitive or might I say Equalized over time. It’s getting like pro and some amateur sports , money buys success. Just wondering what you think.

Nope. It's fine the way it is. Besides performance order won't shake up anything. If you are better, than it doesn't matter what performance slot you are in. Someone wants a later time slot, kick butt and go earn it and not expect the rules to change so it can be given to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrownBariDad Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Didn't the old TOC do round robin? There were 7 (?) Corps and 7 TOC shows and over the entire series each went on first, last, and every spot in between. I don't recall it making a lot of difference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From 2012-2017 in the TOCs, BD performed in one of the first 3 performance slots 14 times. Here is how they did......... 10 first place finishes. 3 second place finishes. 1 third place finish. And they were unbeaten (6-0) when they performed first in the evening. If you are the better corps with the better show, doesn't matter what time you perform. Enough said. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoats88 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 who wants to sit through a show when the order is Phantom, BD, mandarins, SCV, Bluecoats, crossmen, Jersey Surf? I would feel bad for Crossmen and surf having to follow two of the top 3 corps and not competing next to their competition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, since design drives scores, and the scores are SUBJECTIVE, "earning it" seems to happen in the Winter, not in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friday Night at the Vista show, PC went on last after Academy, Mandarins and SCV. Saturday Night at the Rose Bowl, PC had to follow the Mandarins who just set the Rose Bowl on fire with their performance. I felt so bad for PC.

In the case of PC, they are definitely loved by all out here in Cali/SoCal, but they still don't have a "Hometown" advantage with BD, SCV, and now the Mandarins taking flight. PC will be ok moving forward. I was devastated for PC in 2020 when Covid derailed the season. They had so much momentum after Everglow, and i had them as a darkhorse finalist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
