Looks like the BOA McAllen list hasn't been updated since the schedule came out, there's been a few additions and subtractions such as +PSJA Southwest and -Los Fresnos at a glance

Hey I filled out a prediction thing a while ago for the Lone Star Preview but I haven't seen it on the predictions page. Did yall get it or do I need to make another one?

So this is the perfect time to explain the process. Instead of immediately accepting/declining events as soon as they come in, I am waiting till the week of (Around the Sunday/Monday of that new week) to then concentrate on the new group of events. This has led to multiple individuals filling out the same competitions over and over again. For example, I had 12 "BOA Katy's" waiting, and several were from 1 person. It is always best to wait to submit a contest until it is 100% confirmed on which bands are going or not. That also applies to when predicting. If I have to adjust an event, then everyone is given the option to re-predict which could be frustrating to do. 

So, to really answer your question, I did get it (most likely with others as well) and I will be accepting one of them either Sunday or Monday. 

Hopefully you understand. Have fun predicting!

Oh okay that makes a lot more sense. Thanks for clearing that up👍

[J-Mike16]

Hey yall! We are making our way into the start of the Prestigious UIL Process of the season, and I just wanted to make this statement. Any Regional events that get submitted will get declined as Region is not a competition between other bands. It should get renamed to UIL Regional Evaluation. Now come Area, that is where the actual competition will start. 

Thanks for understanding and have a wonderful Monday!

[J-Mike16]

Oh! I almost forgot, if any of yall know/have the results for the following contests, please share them!

• Seguin Marching Festival (September 23rd)
• Cypress Marching Showcase (September 30th)
• Mesquite Marching Festival (September 30th)

I'm having the hardest time finding any sorts of results from these 3 events.

Hey everyone! Hope all is well during this chaotic marching season! I am here tonight (Actually early morning lol) to announce a new feature with our Predictions Game. This idea was brought to me from @Dave609. His idea was what if the predictors got something at the end of the season like a badge to showcase to all for their "impeccable predicting skills". Well, @Clarinot and I am here to tell y'all what we have made to share with everyone. 

We have made a badge for those who predict the best! 

Now here is how it will work. 

Every hour the website will automatically calculate the standings of all the predictors for the current standings. Those in the top 10 will be rewarded with the badge. NOW, the next time the website updates (for example, when scores get added), anyone who drops out of the top 10 will get their badge revoked and then anyone who moves up into the top 10 will be rewarded with a badge. This will continue until the season is over, by then the final top 10 will keep their badge forever. Every year there will be a new badge ready to be awarded. 

We hope this will increase in the competitiveness in predicting and hope some of yall work even harder to get into one of the coveted 10 spots  

I will now list the current top 10 Predictors who should have a badge in their profile. 

• celesta
• J-Mike16
• MrMusic5002
• Tubalord11
• brandonlfoskett
• bxOxAxUIL
• Dave609
• RottenPredictions
• AKNOX
• BigBassBoi

One more thing! Please, please, please double check any lineups for events before submitting. I've already had a couple Area Contests submitted with multiple bands who did not advance. Thank yall for participating in our 2023 TXBands Predictions Game! We are now getting into the intense part of the season. Go Band!

Unfortunately, right now Predictions is not going on because of the site being down.

okay, thanks so much for the update! I'd imagined certain parts were gonna take a little longer to fix, but it's all good. 

[Clarinot]

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!

Thanks so much, looks like the preds are now fixed!!

Aww the one year I decide not to participate in the predictions, there is finally a reward. 😕 I've been top 10 at least once or twice before in past seasons.  Oh well.

Awww I'm sorry! Will you be participating next year?

[Mike McBandiel]

Hey I have a question. I changed my name (formerly BigBassBoi) and it reset my predictions. Will it still save my progress from the predictions I made before I changed the name?

[J-Mike16]

That is a very good question. Let me ask Clarinot and I will get back with you on that.
