It's fantastic to see them back where they were headed. Same here brother. Covid hit everyone hard. But I feel like the momentum PC was carrying into 2020 was affected more than anyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasgre2000 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 i'm a BK homer, but not surprised at all that PC won tonight. It was well deserved. The margin may be a bit big, but I thought PC was better tonight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that until all corps are at the same contest, judged by the same panel, the scores are just informative, not determanitive.

Oh, and just for the record, "West Coast Inflation" is the well known reference to those corps who BEGIN their tours in California and make their way to the first intersection with everyone else. So please all calm down. 🙂 Sorry we didn't understand what "west coast inflation" meant since it's not a real thing. 😉 I'm just having fun with it. I know scores are just arbitrary, but it's still the only measuring stick we have until SA. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't be both. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say another measuring stick is Mandarins being within 5 of BD who most of us who have heard in person know is amazing this year. I don't care where it's being judged, if you sit 5 pts behind BD then you are a legit 5 to 8 contender! 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasgre2000 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 If you go off most recent scores (which I agree means absolutely nothing at this point), Mandarins would be in 5th ahead of PR and less than a point behind Crown. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mandarins are in the conversation with PR. Crown's score isn't reflective as it's 3 days old. There is no doubt Crown will post a 85+ their next outing! You can gauge that by Bluecoats score who have gone head to head with Crown on multiple occasions this year. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. But on the other hand, (head to head or not) If someone said Mandarins would be less than a point behind Crown AT ANY POINT THIS SEASON a few months ago..........that person would have been laughed off DCP. Now do I believe Mandarins are really a point behind Crown......... NO! Even this Mandarins Dad needs to be realistic and take off the homer glasses lol. But it's nice to see how far Mandarins have come. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacewill Posted July 13, 2023 Author Share Posted July 13, 2023 It's still early in the season. We saw with the troopers last year how fast a late season surge can happen. 14th in SA with BK in the top 12 and by Worlds Troopers are finalist and BK is on the outside looking in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
