I've lost track, or missed you stating that - you got $$$ for running the Gencon events?

Borrowing these games from me is NOT a recommended solution because shipping is so expensive! It's just another option to consider. But if you can bring your own sets, by all means, that's what you want to do. $240 can buy a lot of prizes. It's a shame to waste the money on shipping if you've got alternatives. For Gencon, we had no alternatives, so we did what we had to do. |

Gencon charges a fee for each hour of game play. Our entry fee was generally higher (but not always) than the fee charged by Gencon. At the end of the four days, Gencon wrote a check to Grungebob for the difference between the total we owed for Gencon fees and the total collected from our entry fees. Grungebob applied the money to cover expenses he incurred in organizing the event. There was no "profit" and Grungebob didn't get "paid" to run the events. We tried to price the events so that Grungebob would not be "out of pocket" when all his bills were paid. |

And if so why? I ship things all over the world, everyday. There are extra charges being thrown in there I think. I'd look into that. |

We're talking UPS Ground. Go to the UPS site and price the boxes. That's 7 boxes x 18 lbs. = 126 lbs. If I could have found a cheaper solution, I would have used it. |

I’ve found it helpful to use a dry marker to identify the starting zones. Glyph, tree, and ruins locations. It will wipe/wash off. With several maps it really helps with set up time and during the course of the event trees & ruins do get knocked over and this is an easy way to make sure they get put back on the correct hex.
I bring in the maps pre-made on plywood sheets so all I have to do is slide them onto the tables and look for the dry marker lines as where to put the ruins and trees… very quick and easy. PLEASE NOTE: I found out thru experience that if you leave the dry marker on the hexes for over a month you may need more elbow grease to rub these marks off... I've also went to the extent of using 409 or other type cleaners to help clean off the hexes. Please be aware - and use at your own discretion. |

Cool idea Reaper. This would probably make for a good Word/PDF document or Codex submission once it is completed *hint hint*

As tournaments get bigger we found it helpful to have the Tournament Director stand out.
At our last tourney we gave out Black T-shirts to everyone that participated, the shirts had special tourney graphics on the front & sponsors on the back. Our Tournament Director wore the identical printed T-Shirt other than his was Orange. This concept could also be done with a bright colored hat or some other means. I think it is import to make your TD accessible and easy for people to reach him/her instead of guessing at the answer or having the more dominate player sway his way of thinking on a player... everyone should be on a level playing field. |
