How is that supposed to convince me at all?

saxamattone... top 6? that is a joke.

recheck your stats.

If you stay ahead of leviathan and spectrum then 5th. It's just a prediction. I'm comfortable with my top 4 groups

I could be overestimating Leviathan but spectrum has recently beaten you head to head and I should pass you both by this weekend

BDE avg daily improvement between its last two shows is .603 while I'm at .857

different strategies.. there is a long way to go before finals.

Agreed and this is a very deep group of D1 contenders!

I still have to descover a strategy that gives me a late season surge.

I will see if my strategy will hold up to the desired end result ... Should Be Interesting !!!

mine has worked since Season 1..

Strad,

Keep it simple ... Max out your GE Visual & GE Music by practicing your full Ensemble Rehearsal caption (I.E. The 197 Point items) ... Once you have maxed those 4 Rehearsal Captions you simply need to concentrate on the 10 Point captions of Winds, Percussion, Visual, & Color Guard. This will ensure that you are positioned for a late season point surge ... The key is to have the last 4 Rehearsal categories up to atleast 8.000+ before switching over to them ... Generally speaking, you will need roughly 10-12 full days of rehearsing these 4 categories in order to ensure a max point gain.

Carolina Royals will find that the scores will be closer than expected when all is said & done ... I will need to build up additional staff that maximizes the early season GE captions in future seasons in order to overcome the 2+ point current starting point disadvantage that I startted with this season ... But that will happen with time !!!

Bottom Line ... Stick To The Plan & Execute Without Exception !!!

Cire,

Mine has been working so far in season 32 ... This is my base score season ... from this I will take my learnings & continue to adjust as needed ... However, I have completed full spreadsheet comparisons of all rehearsal captions & calculated the points needed for the Max score as well as how many rehearsal repetitions are required vs. the Energy expended ... I feel very comfortable with my strategy & don't expect to veer from it in any material way !!!

Wow, you're really taking this seriously. With that and 24 accounts, I can't imagine the number of hours you've spent on this.

Actually, I spent less than 15-20 minutes on the spreadsheet & minimum time on the groups ... to this point !!!

Early on, I was concentrating on Max Fundraising so there was really not much time spent on rehearsing ... LOL !!!

Lol. FastForward, that's basically what I do.

There was someone else a long time that had a spreadsheet they were using..

Personally, I think it's borderline cheating and takes the fun out of the game for everyone

Spreadsheets I'm cool with. Attendance boosting though, that's what I consider cheating.

I don't think spreadsheets are necessarily cheating, but it would take the fun out of it a little. At that point you're just repeating the same thing over and over again, so I can't imagine the game would be any fun even for yourself.

Attendance boosting is a whole other issue in itself.

Attendance boosting? I don't see anything wrong with that.. (I always accept people on a first come first serve basis)

You don't see something wrong with someone having 24 "b" accounts that do nothing but campaign influence and fill up the "a" groups show?
