How do rehearsal points work? Specifically, what is the point of changing it throughout a single day, week, or season? I can't see how it adds up to better caption scores - at least not on the dashboard. Maybe there's a back-end points accumulation but I have no idea what the results are of each rehearsal point adjustment.

I understand that it can be changed at nearly any time, but I'm not sure what gets "locked in". Is it recommended to change the rehearsal focus more than once each day? Is it intended to be changed just once per day or every 8/16/24 hours? What I've been doing so far is just waiting until a show occurs and adjusting based on the critiques received. Anyone else trying something different or just keeping a certain allocation?

The rehearsal points do play a factor into your score shows. I can't give the actual calculation, but it does play a role in the score for the shows. For example if you your recaps are showing a lower score in one category, you can try adjusting your practice focus to boost the scores in that category

I understand. Thanks! Is there a point to changing rehearsal focuses multiple times per day, is it just based on how many real-life hours you "use" with a set selection, or is there a set calculation that occurs at a specific time each day? I only ask because I know the calculation is off limits, but I'm not really sure how often this should change and if there is any benefit to doing it outside of getting show critique.

No benefit to doing it multiple times a day, I'd recommend changing it sometime before the next show (5pm PST) and then making any adjustments before the show the next day's show, and see what works best for you!
