# Phase sequences at a threshold

How many possessions reached at least a given number of phases: the number of times the team got to 3+ phases, 5+ phases, and so on.

This counts occurrences, so it adds up across games — 4 sequences of 3+ phases in one match and 3 in the next is 7 for the pair. Ask for it by naming the threshold, for example "how many times did we get to 3+ phases".

It is a different reading from the two neighbouring phase stats, and all three can disagree about the same game:

| Phase sequences at a threshold                      | How many times we reached N phases           |
| [Most phases built](/definitions/most-phases-built) | How long our single best possession was      |
| [Phases Built](/definitions/phases-built)           | How many phases an average possession lasted |

A game with 28 attacking sequences can have a longest sequence of 6 phases and an average of 2, and still have reached 3+ phases seven times.
