I could be wrong, but isn't it whoever wins more captions?

what is the tie-breaker?

The top 2 corps have thier captions ordinals. Add them up. Whoever has the lowest ordinal sum wins.

So if Corps A was 1st in GEVis, GEEns, 3rd in Brass, etc. It would be 1+1+3+....

Corps B was first in Perfbrass, colorguard, 2nd in VisEns, etc. it would be 1+1+2+...

What? No sudden death? :(

I say send both corps running out from both ends of the field blindfolded. The corps with the most members unscathed that have reached the other side wins. To make it more interesting, make everyone bring their instruments so we can throw in a damage factor. Least damage wins.

is it the captions (ie brass, perc, GE music, Vis Perf) or is it the sub captions (ie brass Rep, Perc Ex, etc...)

I don't see why it would be considered unfair. Please explain.

If after all the subcaptions are added up, the score is a tie, that means that the corps are equally entitled to the title, IMO. Basing it on subcaptions 'won' lessens the achievement of the other corps artificially. They got the score..they deserve the title...even if it is shared.
