Hi,
Just wanted to see what everyone else thinks, I am going for Level 4 Promotion and started in January. My observation which was last year was a 70. Extremely boring last game of the season, nothing to write home about. This was seen as the "average" score. I have had 1 more observation since and scored 71.1 (Another painfully uneventful game) which means my average is 70.55

Just for my own knowledge, the expectation will still be 71 for the 4 with the new guidelines?

Good Luck to everyone this weekend!

I have had this conversation with my RDO a few times this season because while I should be fine with my 4 scores (I hope) if it is a min of 71 then I know a few on the annual pathway who are going to be very close unless they have a perfect game for their 4th observation. He has been back and forth with the FA and I think it will be 71.

But hey surely you can't have 2 more uneventful games to be observed on otherwise I need to know how many ladders you have walked under.
 
The nomination criteria surely can't change midway through?

I think it is likely to remain 70 for the annual to be nominated but potentially the FA may only look for 71 and over but being below that won't stop the CFA nominating you.

Leaving it late to get 2 observations in before Jan.

With promotion attempts increasingly spanning across two seasons, there will be more of these situations in future. Another example is those who started 7-6 last season (when there was no AR component) but will complete this season (where there is). In one sense it's 'moving the goalposts' but on the other, it's a relatively small price to pay for the extra flexibility and fluidity now inherent in the system.
