If a company wants to run demos of multiple games thru the day is different (for instance if VPG wanted to run demos of 8 different games in rotation each day), but same game over and over should be limited. </div><div><br></div><div>John</div><div><br></div><div>P.S.

At the moment, a GM can place a DEMO event in the schedule multiple times, basically locking up a table for an entire day and sometimes the entire convention. I was wondering if anyone would object to me limiting these to once a day per game.
