  5. You should be able to edit predictions

    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.

    I would say only include our of state contests if there are Texas bands competing but would also be ok with including any contest featured by hornrank (BOA and major local contests).  That means some random contest in Idaho or California or Massachusetts would probably not be all that interesting to make predictions for, but BOA Grand Nats would! 

    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)

    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.

  17. Update Predictions Page

    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!
