Testing in October

[JusticeZero]

It's at an intensive seminar. You hobnob and have all sorts of conversations on things, play lots of people, and have a lot of classes with the guest instructors and such who came up to help put on the event.

The night before the big event, your instructor has a meeting with the other guest instructors and his seniors and such who came to the event, and they evaluate everyone to decide what cord to give them. Then they are presented at the big public event on the last day.

As such, they can be a bit far between at times, since it's not something that gets thrown together in isolation.
