  1. Last call for results! Please post in this thread if you have finals results for any of the following contests: Mesquite Marching Festival Cypress Showcase Seguin Marching Festival If not, we will remove these contests shortly to wrap our final scores/placements for the 2023 predictions game!
  2. Sorry for this, I am working on a couple site fixes. As you likely have seen we've been getting slammed with a lot of spam on the forums lately so I've been working on a couple fixes to resolve that and overall site stability - things should be returning to normal now!
  3. Also our prize for winning predictions in 2006 was a blockbuster gift card. There will soon be high school students that were never alive during Blockbuster’s time on earth!
  4. I am certainly always open to changing how the prediction game works, as we have done in the past. For the record though, the reason it's setup in this way is intentional to force someone to make their own independent predictions before seeing others: that's why you can't view lists until you've made your own. Over the last couple of years we have tried to be better to not even add contests until we're a few weeks out (primarily because the bands attending really doesn't get locked in until pretty close in) which would allow someone to use scores from earlier on in the season to make good predictions. Additionally, if you've made predictions and the school lineup changes in any way (schools adding or withdrawing from the contest) you can edit your prediction list, even if you didn't have any of the impacted schools in your original list.
  5. I am struggling to find finals results for the following contests. If you have any leads please message me or post here, thanks in advance! T-Bird Invitational
  6. By the way if anyone is interested in being a predictions moderator please let me know! (It’s easy I promise)
  7. This is intentional, as events are added on a rolling basis about 2 weeks out to ensure we have accurate rosters before people start predicting.
  8. Yep, all set. I removed Pebble Hills and I made a change that should allow repredictions for those who've already submitted automatically any time the school lineup changes
  9. I like this approach. The only two pending September events were for BOA and I approved those (since schools add/drop all the time, I usually only go out a few weeks in advance)
  10. As you may have noticed, 2022 Predictions are now live! Head over to https://www.txbands.com/predict to make your predictions for most September events. If there are any contests you'd like added, you can suggest an event as well. I have noticed a number of non-Texas contests submitted. We're good to include these but I would love the community's input on this. Please either post here or vote in the poll.
  11. Go to the live blog, scroll down on the left (or upper, if you’re on mobile) panel, and click the "Live Blog Archive” button
  12. We used to have a score archive on txbands, but it got out of date super quickly as it was a lot of work to maintain and keep everything up to date. That said, if we can be of assistance I'm glad to help build/host something here as well.
  13. Awesome! Definitely open to any suggestions on how to improve it as well.
  14. Hi everyone, I wanted to share about a new feature on predictions (actually something from the old site that has been brought back!) - Aggregate Prediction Analysis. You can access the Aggregate Prediction Analysis for any event by clicking on View Lists and then the new button at the top You'll see a table that includes a top-level predictions list based on what all members have predicted for an event. It's cool to see how our community's collective wisdom is very close to the real results for many contests!
  15. While we're all here, there are a handful of contests I haven't found results for. If anyone has them I would be very appreciative: Sounds of Springtown Marching Showcase Katy ISD Marching Festival Edna Invitational Midway Marching Preview
  16. Also, I will definitely delete out any bands that are not going to area (it wasn't clear from @abtwitch's spreadsheet where this was the case), but also don't let that stop you from predicting. As long as I'm not missing anyone on the area rosters, then you could in theory still make a full predictions list with only the schools that you know to be participating.
  17. Can you tell me which areas are wrong and I can update them?
  18. Actually got everything added all the way through 2A (except the 2A areas that aren't finalized yet), thanks @abtwitch!
  19. Great idea, 5A is up on the predictions page as well! https://www.txbands.com/predict
  20. I would love to get 5A also, but would need some help with sourcing the schedules/participant lists
  21. I’m with you both on this and definitely looking for some assistance in running the predictive game as it is difficult for me to confirm the accuracy of everything. Please send over a PM if you’re interested and I can set you up as a moderator!
