Will 88m points drop below 300?

Honestly, 300 is a REALLY low bar. If people NEED to the score to drop that low, they shouldn't be NCO's anyway.

You could just get more promotion points. 300 out of 800 is not a high bar to get over

Probably. But why not do things to get more points? If your points are less than 300 and you are sitting there waiting for the points to drop so the promotion comes to you instead of you chasing after it.....yea, that doesn't really give me warm fuzzies.
