Predictions for Melissa updated to include Hebron. If you already submitted a list, there should be a resubmit button to update your predictions.

This happened to me before but I'll explain again, when I was entering my predictions for BOA San Marcos I saw two lists of finalists and captions instead of one (one atop the other in the same window). I could only fill out one, and when I entered the predictions they were erased. I would like to ask for my currently empty prediction to be erased so I can actually enter it. (I'll find my post from two years ago)

Actually it was last year and happened to my friend, I had a different (thankfully no longer present) issue last year

If I recall, Mesquite Marching Festival does not give out full rankings. Only top 3 in each Class. That is normally why I dont accept that festivals. Most festivals either do class awards or divisions.

What I normally do is wait until about a week or two til the event and then approve it. I do that in case groups get added or dropped. It can be rather annoying to have to constantly go back in and update the event. Doing that makes it to where you can update your predictions but not everyone checks up on their predictions after they have submitted them, and that too can be frustrating to find out that your prediction you made for the event had groups not even there and then groups that were there but were not given to you when you were doing your prediction. Hopefully that made sense. That's why I wait to approve these events til the schedules come out and finalized.

Thanks for the update. I'll remember that for next time.

Can an Admin clarify how scoring will work regarding BOA North Houston if The Woodlands doesn't participate in finals? Should we leave them out of the predictions list outright, or will the prelims score be taken?

TBH I did not approve or add that contest, as I would've left The Woodlands off the predictions entirely instead of how it is now with the majority of course putting the band on their predictions. I may still go in and take The Woodlands off however if anyone has not done the predictions yet for this contest, I recommend just leaving them out if you know they are prelims only.
