This list was last updated 26 Feb 97.
DISCLAIMER: Please note that due to the extreme earliness of this list,
many of the repertoires are of a vague and/or speculative nature. All
reasonable and backed rumors will be included until refuted. Such rumors
will be marked with question marks. All other repertoires have been
supported by multiple and/or very reliable sources.
The Official Unofficial 1997 DCI Repertoire List is updated on a rather
inconsistent basis and posted to RAMD and sCORPSboard. If you wish to
be sent the updated list when it is updated, email me at
[email protected] and I will send you updates via email.
Any updates will be GREATLY appreciated.
