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 phoenyx@mindspring.com and I will send you updates via email. Any updates will be GREATLY appreciated.
