sburstall Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 I have already been asked about the upcoming 2005 LIVE season as to when it will start. At the time I was waiting for DCI to post their tentative schedule since DCP-I runs parallel with that. Now thanks to reading the Junior forum I just found out that the 2005 schedule is up. Here's the skinny... 1. DCP-I always starts the day before DCI. So that means, tentatively, the season will begin on June 16, 2005. The FINALS are the day after the real finals. Some surprises have come out of this. 2. Only the placement of the 2004 season are used. Multiple years are for OFF seasons only. These are already up so you can think about your caption selection. Right now there isn't a date set for submission. Probabaly in April or May. 3. The generation of the scores this early in the year is based off of the first 5 shows of the last LIVE season and then as the corps perform the caption scores are replaced. So corps out west or east who start later in the season will have generated scores for a while. Usually by July all the corps will be on live scores or generated scores by these live scores. 4. The rules for caption changes stay the same. Though there will be some changes because I set regional championships to early this OFF season. And there will be MANDATORY regional shows this year. I'm looking at possibly two, and they will be two "day" affairs. 5. I'm hoping to get the FDCI program running long before June 16 so that the amount of work Jeff or I have to do will be brought down to a minimum and also there will be less chance of errors. I'm also going to look into studying some Bayesian statistics to possibly improve the line fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincinnatiGloryMello Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 What about the rules congress proposal? Are you in favor of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburstall Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 I have no problems with it. It adds a bit more interactivity with DCP-I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburstall Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 I failed to mention that the US Open is a two-day event that will always be on schedule. I have fond memories of it when it was a three-day event in my day.....<sighing> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincinnatiGloryMello Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 (edited) What about adding the Opens for the Div 2/3 circuit? Garden State open, North American, Canadian, Coast Guard? Those are the ones I remember! Maybe do those for the Div 2/3 corps while the Div 1 have their required post regional shows (eg...Indy, San Antonio, Allentown) Edited January 26, 2005 by CincinnatiGloryMello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburstall Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 Coast Guard Open has been in Michigan...:P Good idea. We'll have to spread them out around the US and Canada. Canada needs a good solid show. Maybe have a DCP-I Canada in Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincinnatiGloryMello Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 That would be cool. Traditional Open sites: Garden State - Somewhere in NJ (never actualy did that one) North American - Erie, PA Canadian Open - Sault St Marie, ONT Coast Guard - Grand Haven, MI I figure we can move them to different parts of the country if needed. Move one out west, and one in the Mid West or South. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Question: How will BD's European tour reflect on their potential scores for this upcoming season? Generated the whole time they're over there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRsop15 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Hey I know it's been done in the past, but how would people who are marching this summer be able to keep their fantasy corps running...MY corps the Guernsey Cadets went inactive for the offseason but plans to come back for the live season...I know it's been done last year but I wasn't for sure?
