[Deptheads] Miniature Bootcamp

[Gayle Charboneau]

Wargame Boot camp has never (to my knowledge) given out dealer dollars to demo a game  ( and same for the rest of the boardgames).   Karl has secured games from GMT and gives raffle tickets when someone participates in the demo, then does a drawing for the games.  I agree Dealer dollars have no place with Demos.

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.

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?).
