DCI Open Class Rankings - June 2009

The Open Class Rankings aren't quite as meaningful in June as they are for the World Class corps (as not all corps have started their season just yet), but we'll do them anyway.

June 2009 Rankings:
1 Blue Devils B (tie)
1 Citations (tie)
3 Vanguard Cadets
4 Revolution
5 Teal Sound
6 7th Regiment
7 Capital Regiment
8 Colt Cadets
9 Gold
10 Velvet Knights
11 Mystikal
12 Racine Scouts
13 Spirit of Newark
14 Incognito
15 Impulse
16 Blue Devils C

Notes:

Blue Devils B, Citations, and Vanguard Cadets have all scored above 70 points already.

Every corps has scored above 53 points.

Hardest working corps: Colt Cadets - six shows.

The average high score for all Open Class corps was 63.709.

Year-to-Date Improvement Rankings:
(This measures how well the corps has done since their first show of the season.)

1 Racine Scouts
2 Colt Cadets
3 Velvet Knights
4 Blue Devils C
5 Revolution
6 Vanguard Cadets
7 Capital Regiment
8 Impulse
9 Blue Devils B
10 Incognito

Notes:

The average for YTD Improvements was 2.150 points.

The high (Racine Scouts) was 8.400 points.

Citations and Spirit of Newark had no improvement for the year-to-date because they have only marched one show so far.

7th Regiment and Teal Sound have marched two shows, but have yet to register any improvement over their opening scores.

Year-on-Year Improvement Rankings:
(This measures how well the corps has done since the same time last year, so we're comparing the end of June 2008 to the end of June 2009. This ranking shows who the pleasant surprises are and which corps are not doing so well compared to the previous season.)

1 7th Regiment
2 Colt Cadets
3 Mystikal
4 Citations
5 Blue Devils C
6 Gold
7 Racine Scouts
8 Vanguard Cadets
9 Incognito
10 Revolution
11 Blue Devils B
12 Teal Sound

14 Impulse

Notes:

The average for YOY Improvements was 1.268 points.

The high (7th Regiment) was 7.950 points; the low (Impulse) was a negative 5.100 points.

All corps in places 1-8 had positive changes since last June's high score, while corps in places 9-14 had negative changes.

Capital Regiment is not listed here because they didn't march last season; Spirit of Newark isn't listed because they didn't march last June.

Update: I've modified the various rankings to reflect Jersey Surf's jump from Open to World Class status.
