If we do well enough here and Jiraiya keeps the hat, I am sure we could take ISC and our team back to a few places we visited as missing-nin. Ostensibly for some mission but in reality it's to do some bonding and show ISC how civilians live at the border and such.

@MadScientist By the way, we need a seal that activates a BUNCH of other seals as a variant of the ARS. Even at the start of the tournament we'll have like five seals to activate: Two banshee slayers, a banshee, disco murder, and Casino Seals.
I can only imagine how many seals we'll be activating to start combat off in a year.

I'm still disappointed that we won't be conducting Rampage 2.0 from atop our "fully armed and operational" T&I station.

What? It can already do that -- one seal at each end of the tripwire . Waits for MadScientist's head to explode.

I've already looked into it, though it was more than 2500 posts ago so I suspect most folks memories are hazy. And it originally accounted for turning in other R1 Blue docs - even so, we still have a 460 advantage on them, so it doesnt matter.
We don't really need any prisoners, if our R1 rampage only misses one red 3-man team, and an ISC rampage destroys other team documents and cells.
ISC and co will be spread out among 3-4 squads, depending on whether teams revisit the same facilities in the event plans. They can feasibly capture 18 of the 27 hostile red at the outset of the match, without having to rampage at all... and they would know which blue fort to concentrate on first.
Some departures from my original work might be acceptable to favor Kurenai.

We can actually get away with a variant that just activates two seals, since we should be able to chain them.
But... We haven't researched ARS yet?

For the tournament at least, I think we can activate the banshee slayers and Casino Seals (those are for the sensory array, right? If so, we'll probably have them activated pretty much constantly anyway) before the match starts. Then we can activate the banshee and disco murder seals in round 1.
Speaking of which, something that might be useful would be banshee slayers that last longer. Get them to last long enough, and we could have them on all the time. That would be pretty useful.

Pretty sure he was talking about LBF?

So. Projected experience gain:
Assumed we engaged six teams at 5 XP a pop, except ISC. 7 x 5 = 30 XP. Our first battle gained us 7 XP. So it should be 37 XP.
Assume somehow we get 5 XP a pop for 30 days worth of training. 150 + 37 = 187 XP for round one.
Prep/rest is assumed to take 4 XP.
Next round, we are likely to engage 24 combatants at once and for every full team, we gains 5 XP. 24 / 9 = 2.66. 2.66 x 5 = 13.33 rounded up to 13 XP. 187 + 13 = 200 XP. 200 + 4(prep) = 204 XP.
Thus, we have 204 XP to use at our disposal. There may be more or less depending on what we do.

That would be enough for some solid Alertness points.
Do we get XP bonuses for working/training with experts? I know that working with Kagome on sealing research in parallel improves our research speed, but what about actual training?
Assume our default XP gain is 3 XP per day. If we get a competent tutor, we may gain 1 XP extra a day?
That's 4 XP right there.

This is good analysis in its structure and approach, but I think some of the constants need to change.
First of all, we aren't getting 5xp per team. We got 7xp for the plan in the first update, and 5 xp in the second update for reaching page 4000. I don't think we can expect 5xp for every team, and I wouldn't count on more than 1 or 2.
Second, I expect 1 or 2xp for whatever plan we conduct during the remainder of day 1.
Third, I expect 5xp during the rest day, because we will do something crazy like burning word halves, and will have a brief plan.
I expect 7xp during round two.
Finally, as others have pointed out, we should get 4xp a day for the prep month. But I expect the prep month to take 3 plans, and we will get 6xp from brevity.
That puts my estimate at
12 + 2 + 5 + 7 + 4*30 + 6 = 152
There's no confirmation we get bonus XP for teachers. And if we do, it would have to be for a better teacher than Mari (who does not grant bonus xp). So unless J can take time off, or spare Kakashi, I think we're stuck on that front.
OTOH, the one time we got bonus xp was the time we asked Mari for training from hell and ended up sharing secrets. Also, I suspect that the thing Ami does (assigning herself crazy challenges) would also grant bonus xp (especially if they're fun to write). I suggested that we should copy Ami's training practices, and @Velorien insightful'd the suggestion. So take from that what you will.

Did Mari ever train us in something we'd expect her to be an expert on/would be worth getting bonus XP for?
A better example is probably the fact that we got no bonus XP from being trained by Kagome?
Well, regardless. If we want to max out our XP gain, I suggest a combination of training from hell and Ami-style challenges.

Er, my knowledge of canon isn't the best, but isn't Kakashi really bad at that whole teaching business? Showing up late, not explaining what you are doing wrong, that sort of thing?
Not in mfd. In Naruto's interlude he mentions that Kakashi has been giving him training from hell since he was a kid. Presumably because he's good at it, or rational!Hiruzen would have had someone else do it.
We never got any extra XP points when she tutor us in deception training.
