frontline99 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Wow - that is great. Thanks for spending the time to do this. As far as Blue Coats in '99 not making finals - that's my favorite year for them. Andy Hey - mine, too. Spanish fantasy was awesome. That list rocks.

plugcatcher Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 Surprise! Surprise! After a couple hours of calculations...here are the scores based on what I feel is true consistency dating back to 1972. 25 pts went to a first place finish, and 1 point to a 25th place finish...everything else is in between, u can figure it out. How many of you are surprised? look how close 2-4 is and 5-6. Only possible changes this year is PR jumping over Cadets, but I don't think it will happen because honestly I don't see either PR winning or Cadets finishing lower than 5th. Devils and Cavies will move closer to Vanguard, but SCV's lead is so large it could take years for them to drop out of first...1. Santa Clara- 768 2. Blue Devils- 677 3. Cavaliers-667 4. Madison-657 5. Cadets-616 6. PR-612 Actually, I'm not quite sure how you calculated, but....... Giving 25 pts. to first place, and so on, while still giving points to corps finishing outside of the top twelve (13th place gets 13 pts., 14th gets 12...), the results actually come out quite different. SCV - 768 Blue Devils - 752 Cavaliers - 696 Cadets - 693 Phantom - 686 Madison - 678 If a corps finished out of the top 12, I looked at their highest prelims or semis placement. In other words, what was their highest placement at their last show of the year? The only corps that was not given a score for any particular year were the Blue Devils, who did not compete in DCI in 1972. Every other corps was represented in the top 25 every year. I didn't calculate every other corps on my original list in this manner. That would take quite some time. I do, however, have each decade broken down (with my original calculations), and will post that later, if anyone is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavAlum Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 What might make this more interesting and mathmatically true, instead of just assigning points for placement, take them away if they didn't make finals. Anybody ever taken the time to actually average every corps final score of the season (wheater it was earned at semis or not?). Would be interesting to see an average final score for each corps.

corkineaj Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Anyone care to average all the finals scores to see who has the highest average score? Just a suggestion from another drumcorps fan too lazy to search corpsreps.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyboy Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 what a cool list! its interesting to see the fact in there about BK being the corps with the highest score and never to win finals.. i wonder if that will change this year with bluecoats Actually, the post says the Crossmen are the highest ranking corps of those that haven't won finals. I don't see the Bluecoats winning finals this year....but making stides towards that goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeWee Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 In 2nd place, with a score of 326....The Santa Clara Vanguard Vanguard has won DCI six times, placed 2nd six times, and 3rd eight more times. Oh yeah, they're also the only corps to appear in every DCI final.......EVER. There are two corps with more titles, but SCV's consistency is amazing. Arguably the greatest corps ever, by these standards. And our champion, with a score of 334.... The Blue Devils BD squeaks out the title here by the slimmest of margins, beating SCV by only eight points. With eleven titles to their credit, the Devils are masters at winning championships. They've also been 2nd six times. That means that out of the 34 DCI finals that have been held, the Blue Devils have held their breath as the last two scores were announced....17 times. Wow. GO SANTA CLARA!!!! I never knew they were still that high! And GO CALIFORNIA!!! Between SCV and BD the other states just don't stand a chance - 18 DCI titles in one state (Kingsmen won once) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
