That must be it, because unless you're going from no staff at all to a bunch of staff I can't see how you gain 2 points.
I'll be honest: I saved up about $6,000 per ensemble last season that I spent the day of Semifinals. Gains from Prelims to Semis per ensemble ranged between 0.9 to 1.1 points. Normal daily gains for me after a full day of practice ranged from 0.5 to 0.7 points, so AT MOST all the extra staff got me 0.4
Maybe someone saved up $25-50,000 and spent it all Finals day? So be it, as far as I'm concerned. Let them play however they want.
