We were not always a task reservation hood. This is one reason we created our own version of task reservation:
One hoodie would plant something like strawberry. When their strawberry is ready for first collection, they go to the derby board. And actually see a fellow hoodie taking the strawberry task. Unbeknownst to hood, two hoodies were prepping for the same task..
We allow task reservation because of time restraints of competitive derby.
If we know which task a fellow hoodie is prepping for, we know to prep for something else.
Certain derby tasks, such as pumpkin pie, can take almost a full 24 hours, depending on how many pumpkin pie are required.
Being a derby competitive hood means completing all tasks as soon as possible.
Holding on to one task for almost a full day lessens the chance of being the first hood to finish. In that almost 24 hour time period of waiting on a long task, several fast, easy, not reservable tasks, like help, mine, train, truck, feed, and easy crop, could be completed.
And when all required pumpkin pie are completely done, we can take the pumpkin pie task we reserved, and complete that task in less than a minute.
