Maybe at night (between ? and ? times) groups can't rehearse? No group practices between 1-5 am... Just throwing this out there! You would still get 100 energy each hour, but the rehearsal option would not be available. Whatta yah think?

It would make no difference. I'd rehearse at 12 and 6...haha

Also, this would basically have the same kind of effect that the 600 energy cap would have, it would make it harder for newer groups to compete because they couldn't make up for staff difference as much by rehearsing more.

Energy cap was a bad idea, but everyone wanted it.. might as well do this too

Changing when people can rehearse can very well hurt those who you are trying to help -- especially different time zones.

aaaaah the time zones didn't think of that! Yeah that would be a major issue.

As a temp solution, just make rehearsals worth less points. Like instead of 60 points they now give 50.

That could work lol Pretty simple idea actually... That wouldn't be a lot of programming would it?

And I would only implement this change for guard...

Yeah, I think that is the best solution, TrumpetVinny's idea.

Maybe when Alex gets time that could make the game more realistic.
