If they offer practice before the comp try and do 2-3 runs to get a max of what you can do and a good start volume.

Practice your ass off

dont think they allow it, should i burp loud (for the trials) and stay or try and keep it in a certain area(at a lower volume)? its local and im pretty sure there wont be many in my class if i try to go for big numbers.

Cant use tones only music. Volume control is the hard part.

i havent got a meter to practice with

i know no tones, but i think im somewhere in the 140's, should i try to go as high as i can in 140-149.9 or stay lower at 130-139.9

You will need to burp around 3 db higher than the class you want to run. IE. to do a 139.9 you will need to burp a 142. and a 152 for 149.9.

I would do the 139.9 to get more practice and more runs for the money

ok thanks guess ill just have to see what happens

Song choice is crucial. Find a song that has a steady consistant beat at/near your peak frequency. If I had the setup in your sig I'd run the 139.9 class.

weird i thought i replied in this thread already

get the song to where the bass starts and pause it, unpause it when you see ready and its about to go off. too late and it will bring ur avg down. you should probly do the 139.9 class. qualifying u can break 140 but need to do 139.9 or less at the end. during elims u cant break 139.9 or u get dq'd
