Sunday service ringing accounts for the vast majority of short performances (quarter peals and touches) across almost every active tower. Comparing outright busiest days yields an artificial agreement rate below 16% simply because Sunday overwhelms the schedule everywhere. Excluding Sunday isolates the real weekday rhythm.
BellBoard records published performances, not routine weekly practices. A — non-Sunday match rate (and — weekday match) measures where bands assemble to score quarter peals on practice night. It is a lower bound on agreement, not a measure of stale Dove entries.
On average, active towers ring 30.2% of their weekday performances on their single stated practice night (flat expectation = 20.0%).
