So I took a look at the rankings today and noticed there are only 13 world class corps. Which got me thinking. Why not just have 15 finalists like it’s WGI? I know I know tradition and such. But I what’s the point of making a cut at this point? I imagine the most important thing for DCI the organization is probably dollars and cents/butts in seats. So why not? 13 world class groups and two open class groups. The open class teams get a chance to get a few more eyes on em, the lone world group doesn’t get the out. And the top 3 or 4, which is all that most care about anyway (no disrespect I swear) will still have their battle for the brass band version of Kevin.
If it’s gonna go down, may as well give all the groups as many opportunities to do the thing as they can. Especially with members of whoever unlucky 13 is selling their kidneys and the naming rights of their first born to march.

There are more than 13 World Class corps. The rankings show 13 because some groups haven’t posted 3 scores to be ranked.
Troopers and Blue Knights to name 2.

There's a total of 21 World Class Corps this year. The scores posted on the DCI website show the last 3 average. If a Corp hasn't done 3 scored shows yet, they won't be on the list.

Over on the All Age side, where there actually are just 13 corps, they all will appear in the Finals. (There is no preliminary round.)
