Great information not related to my reply deleted, see post # 596 for full version
Standard 1051883 1880681 28798
Interesting as that is if you change 2 GVs and 42 2brs from
Savanna view to standard view it is very close to the same 160,000 points.
I will let everyone draw his or her own conclusions.
I will double check to entries and algorithm the morning but I am pretty sure it is substantially accurate.
I think it will be interesting to see how quickly they pull the AKV charts down as a measure of how closely they monitor Disboards.

Looks like you have a typo in your post for the second number in standard view; should be 1,080,681 not 1,880,681 (a difference of 800,000) now that would be something to talk about.
More importantly, I do not understand why you think they will quickly pull down the AKV charts. Your explanation that they reclassified 2 GV and 42 2brs, (if that is indead what they did) seems to explain away the apparent "point creation" at AKV that you (and others) have talked about in in earlier posts. (Your numbers seem to support what you said in your post #551) Given your post #582 indicated there were 298 2brm savanna view rooms, reclassifying 42 of them (14%) does seem possible. (BTW, how did you get the breakdown in your post #582? I did not know DVC ever disclosed the exact number of rooms, by size, in each view catagory)
Maybe DVC learned from its experiance at Boardwalk IF AS OTHER HAVE STATED, before BW was sold out DVC reclassified some rooms down to a standard view catagory and lowered the points on those, BUT did not raise the points on the other rooms which they reclassified as prefered view rooms, so they therefore ended up with fewer points to sell. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THAT IS WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED? It seems to me if you started with 5 rooms at BW at 40 points each (a total of 200 points) and wanted to reclasify 1 room (20% of the 5 rooms) downward, you could just reduce that room to 32 points and raise the other 4 rooms to 42 points and they would still total 200 points. (the actual numbers at BW are closer to 350 rooms with 70 being reclassified, but the math is the same) That way the total number of points to be sold would not change, and I would suspect that is what they actually did at BW. It does not seem to me that it matters whether the resort is fully sold or not when they to do that.
Regardless of what they did at BW, at AKV, it definitely looks like they made up for the points they lost when they downgraded some rooms to standard view, by rasing the points on the other room catagories, and therefore did not end up with fewer points to sell, but also did not end up with more points.
I wonder if they did (or will do) a similar thing at BLT if they need to reclassify some rooms from one catagory to another at that resort.
Finally, I also want to add my thanks for all the effort you put in on this. You, wrdl, and TSMIII really seem to have a handle on the numbers. (I find it really interesting, but them I am a math geek.)
