[Deptheads] Miniature Bootcamp

[Evil5757 at aol.com]

The Dealer Dollars were actually supposed to be advertised as an incentive  
for people to take the time to learn a new game to get the ball rolling. I  
discussed this with my staff after the con and (since this is being brought 
up  now) we were going to discuss using the DD for the events we have 
instead of the  demos in the same fashion of Boardgames. I seriously doubt people 
realized they  were going to get DD for the demos from their reaction as I 
gave it to them and  no one asked for them, so I don't think they affected 
the numbers at all.

I think  it is a bad idea to play people to play demo games.   If we do the 
 bootcamp correctly, they should be games people want to learn.  We can  
track that with the numbers.  If you offer "pay for play" the numbers are  of 
less value.

I don't think we should be handing out dealer dollars for demos.  That

said, my opinion is that if we have dealer dollars for some demos, we

should have DD for all of them, in all departments, for exactly the

reason Robyn says -- it looks like favoritism if only some demos have

payments.

 Paying of dealer dollars to event participants:  This was not done for all

demos, creating an inequity situation.  This also was recognized by

participants as well as GMs who did not get the dealer dollars to distribute

to their demoees.  I have since received several inquiries of whether their

demos will also receive this support.  My question to department heads is

whether the distribution of dealer dollars to demo participants is the

correct action for our convention, and if it is, what is the appropriate

amount that we should be distributing to people who participate in demos,

and whether we should be doing this for all demos, or only ones demonstrates

as our favorites (favoritism?).
