I hope he was right but that doesnt make much sense if you look at the numbers... I will break it down assuming next academy is not until January/Feb:
September 2015: Up to 5003 List #40
January/Feb 2016: ~ #'s 40 - 250
April 2016: ~#'s 250 - 450
August/Sept 2016: ~450 - 700
interesting... How many people are in 1 academy (day + night)?
