[Deptheads] Strategicon - 4th place ribbons

[Shane Sauby]

It seems like the consensus is against 4th place ribbons, which is fine.   It was a suggestion I thought I would pass along since I did not know how easy or hard it would be to get more ribbons.  I will make sure to remind the few GMs running big events to list a 4th place so they can get their prizes.

Fourth place, Fifth place, etc.
 
There are tourneys all over the con that award prizes beyond 1st, 2nd and 3rd (like mega and large)...but there is no need to award 4th place ribbons....or then 5th place and 6th place, etc.
Boadgames, ccg games, miniature games, etc. award prizes for 4th place and higher (dropzone commander miniature game awarded 1st thru 8th..sponsor sent the prizes). But no ribbons for 4th thru 8th.We award 1st thru 3rd place ribbons regardless of prizes given out. Events with no prizes give ribbons the same as tournaments so prizes are not criteria for ribbons.
 
I do not see the need for 4th place ribbons...we are fine where we are at with 1st thru 3rd for events and tourneys. But......if the overwhelming majority of people on this list wanted them we could go that way but it would not
be until Gamex 2015 at the soonest since we just made a large ribbon order for this con and it will be another year+ before we order again. (So next 5 cons will be without 4th place ribbons nomatter what we decide).

Hi guys,

    It was suggested to me that since there are 4th place prizes for a few of my tournaments that there should be 4th place ribbons.  There are about 10-15 events per con that get a 4th place prize.
