I don't think that was ever an official rule and, honestly, I don't remember that being the case in the prior seasons I've run (my memory is far from air-tight, though).

Regardless, I gave everyone almost two weeks' notice that the unlimited caption selections would be going away yesterday. Sorry.

Only reason I brought it up was because it is in the rules on the FAQ section of the website, sorry. I'm just frustrated because I had a huge caption change and couldnt execute it, but I guess I'm under the same rules as everyone else. Thanks for the clarification

Fair point. I forgot that page was even there (and it badly needs an update) but that's on me. I'll let the membership decide and start a poll.

I can't believe it took me 3 years how to do well in DCPI 😭 Regardless I'm super happy with how I'm doing this season, I'm thinking about changing my corps' names next season to revolve around one theme instead of random names😎

POINT INCREASE SCHEDULE

6/30 - First Increase

7/7 - Second Increase; End of unlimited caption changes

7/14 - Third Increase

7/21 - Fourth Increase

7/28 - Fifth Increase; final point levels

8/4 - NO INCREASE (you'll have a week to play around with max points and plan final caption changes before Championships)

+1 for Class A, +2 for Open, +3 for World on each date

Just a quick clarification as we roll into finals. 

When does the 3 captions change end? Does that end on Wednesday 8/7 or Thursday 8/8? 

Also, do we still have the 2 caption switch available after the championship rounds, Qtrs and Semis?

I will be shutting off caption changes Wednesday night, 8/7, in the vicinity of 9pm CDT.

Yes, caption changes will be back on Thursday and Friday nights. One update of up to two captions each night. The usual caption update deadline applies: 5pm EDT/2pm PDT. That's when the system automatically locks in the caption choices and sends me the spreadsheet for that night's competition.

For my personal sake, does this mean our final caption selections for finals are due Friday by 5pm CDT?

It does not seem as though caption changes have been turned off. I made changes to my World class corps on Monday and I wanted to make different changes for finals and it says I have exceeded my caption changes for the week. How I read it was that we get changes regardless of that? Am I wrong with that assumption?

Based on this below it means you cannot make the 2 caption change until that opens up at approx. 10PM EST tonight (after Prelims). This is an update hostrauser makes. 

PRELIMS: Thursday, August 8th; caption changes turned back on (roughly) 7pm Pacific / 8pm Mountain / 9pm Central / 10pm Eastern; 1 update, only 2 captions per corps

Then another 2 caption option follows after SEMIS.
