Possible Predictions Expansion

[J-Mike16]

Hey everyone! 

J-Mike here, one of the TXBands Predictions Admins.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful time with it getting near summer and experiencing all the fun things of DCI, Show Reveals, and school letting out for summer break, etc. 

I am here to discuss the possibility of our annual predictions game opening up to beyond HS Marching Bands. We could open up the door to DCI Predictions (though after a few events, you kind of get the idea on who is placing where lol) and maybe even indoor predictions with guard, winds, and drumline.

If any of this is something any of yall would be into, please let me and Clarinot know by expressing your opinions below as I personally think with how popular our game is with HS Bands, that we could grow even more opening up to DCI and Indoor.

Thank you all for reading and considering whether or not we should expand our little game.

Have a great day/night yall!

*EDIT*

I am including a poll for everyone to choose from. I feel like people will more likely decide through a poll rather than typing out their thoughts.

Yes yes yes yes 100000% yes!! I am all for it! I think this’ll definitely make predictions more exciting (even though the DCI ones might be increasingly more predictable as each comp goes on)

Please do! However, make them have different leaderboards. For EX someone might get top DCI in points but not top Marching band.  Another idea I had was to make the people who are in the top 10 of the leaderboard have some sort of special color on there name when they post in forums.

Great idea

I just wanted to pop in here and let everyone know that the 2025 DCI Predictions are happening! The game is now open for submissions! I will be making a new topic for the game shortly in the next day or two. Let's all enjoy this season of DCI!

So are the contests supposed to show up to predict? For some reason mine aren’t showing up.

Looking forward to it!

I think if you add DCI then I think you need to have 2 contests. A DCI contest and then the High School Contest I do not think they need to be grouped together since they are also scored different.

We are doing that. DCI Predictions will happen and then after DCI Finals, then predictions move over to the HS Marching Season on September 1st.
