BlueStainGlass Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 We have nothing going on today and this has been something I've been thinking about lately, but why do we need to call it Open and World Class now? Everyone is being scored on the same sheets while we have several open class groups outscoring several world class. The difference between the two classes alone is tour model (which this season doesn't even follow since Surf missed a regional) so why not just group everyone as one class? If every corps that goes to finals gets to do quarter finals then we essentially already combined both classes. BDB and SCVC could possibly be our 15-16th come finals with Spartans not going down without a fight. Gold is a sleeper with no score due to COVID in a while.

KVG_DC Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Cause they'd have to start paying appearance fees to the Open Class Corps. That's really the difference here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touring model and financial results are the determining factors. The OC corps requested to be on the same sheets. how one scores has zero determination on class 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that happens we will need to change the ABBD acronym. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
