The 2006 Drumlines.org Fantasy Drum Corps season is in the works! I'm setting everything up behind the scenes and will be opening registration in about a month or so. Below is a link to a list of corps from last year and their division seedings for this year if they field a competing corps.

***Edit***
But keep in mind, if a fantasy corps from last season folds, everyone below them moves up a spot.

Just as last year, new corps registering this year will fill in starting at the highest seed in the last division available (Division 4 - Seed 09 if everyone from last year fields a competing corps). There will be an unlimited amount of divisions. If Division 4 fills (maximum of 25 corps per division) a Division 5 will be created, and so on.

***Edit***
Division advancement of your fantasy corps from season to season is a real possibility. If your fantasy corps competes in Division 4 this season, and places in the top 5 in Division 4, your fantasy corps is guaranteed a spot in at least Division 3 for 2007's season. Theoretically, a Division 4 fantasy corps can make Division 1 in their 4th season, maybe even as soon as 2nd season if enough fantasy corps above them don't return.

Finally, I have put together this year's caption chart, so you may start going over it and formulating strategies. If you have no clue what a caption chart is, don't worry - we'll explain it in detail a little later.

*Blue Stars' caption scores were obtained by subtracting 20% from their final caption scores from 2005.

the Local Kine Corps, will be sitting this year out, due to the Directors absence. however plan on a return next year! good luck to all participants!

Vince brought up a good point.

Remember, you don't have to be around during the season to participate. You just have to be around to register and pick your schedule and captions. After that, you can set your fantasy corps on cruise control if you so wish. Of course, this isn't as fun as being around during the season, but it is possible nonetheless, and still rewarding.

In fact, we have a few fantasy corps whose directors marched DCI last summer.

due to some new info, the director will be available, however, only in part. so count my corps back in!

You can expect to see The Marauders Drum and Bugle Corps start their assault on those division 1 corps. After a fairly productive 2005 season, we plan to manage the corps more effectively and show what we're made of. Best of luck to everyone.

Looks like I'll be the one responsible for his corps' demise. Just be ready for The Engineers to make some tracks on your back, Marauders.

The Flares are already off to a rip-roarin' start. We've got three of our pieces fielded, and we're going to kick some Division I bootay!

The Gladiators have been working on their show since the day after last years finals. So be prepared to be amazed. Show details coming shortly.

Gladiators... in case you haven't noticed, you've secured a spot in Division 1 for this season... so feel free to update your signature, and welcome to the fierce competition that is Division 1! Prepare to get your butt whooped! (You too Marauders)

PS - I predict 25th place for The Engineers.

uh-huh.... Well, I think that will be a prediction that will NOT occur.
