Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted February 13, 2009 Author Showmasters Admin Share Posted February 13, 2009 his t-shirt that says too tall on it is kind of a give away too That is true but I don't always have that on. I usually don't on the Friday, I'm usually wearing what I was wearing to work that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starbuck73 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Guest Encounters: These are a 45 minute chat (with coffee/tea/buscuit) with around 20 attendees and one guest. They are auctioned off at the event by bidding sheets being put up on the wall at the event. One sheet for each guest encounter. Attendees bid by putting their badge number and their bid on the sheet. At a specific time, which will be stated on the sheet (say 1pm), the sheets come down and the highest 20 bids win. But everyone pays the value of the 20th winning bid. All bids are visible to people bidding later. You can come back and up your bid if you want. But if you want to up your bid you have to completely cross out your previous bid and add a new one to the bottom of the list. That way we know the order that the bids were placed. So once sorted into bid order they look like this... £200, £35, £33, £33, £31, £27, £26, £26, £25, £24, £22, £22, £20, £20, £20, £18, £18, £17, £10, £10, £10, £10, £10, £9, £7, £7, £5, £5, £5, £5. As the 20th highest bid is £10, all those people with a bid higher than £10 win, but only pay £10. Even the crazy person that bid £200. As you will see 5 people have bid £10. But there are only 2 places left. So the first 2 people to bid £10 win. In this case ST301 and G59. This is the reason for the crossing out and re-adding your bid at the bottom and not just changing it. If G19 had just changed their bid on line 5 to £10 it would have appeared they were the first person to have bid £10 (i.e. before both ST301 and G59), where as in fact they were the last person to bid £10. We had a coffee bar style thing at the last con I was at, but instead of auctioning off the tickets, everyone bought one of those little draw tickets at the same price (I think it was £10) & they were all put into a hat & they drew out however many were allowed in (I think it was 10 or 15). That way, people don't get crazy & bid a stupid amount & everyone pays the same price, the same with your system. Unfortunately, I can see people really getting silly & unless you set a maximum bid, the 20th highest bid could still be something daft like £50 or £100 & it's not really fair to those who don't have that sort of money to spend.

Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted February 13, 2009 Author Showmasters Admin Share Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) I'm afraid it's the way that ME have decided to do it. At least this way the only people that pay are those actually going. We've done this twice now. We had a couple go for over £40 at the Hub, but at Eclipse 2 they all went for around £10-£15.

izzymon172 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 at what time do we need to show up at the hotel on friday? where does everything start? do we just ask at the entrance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted February 21, 2009 Moderators Share Posted February 21, 2009 http://showmastersonline.com/forums/index....showtopic=42113 That rough schedule gives you an idea of when everything is - basically Friday is just for registration, opening ceremony, and the party. You should be able to register from 2pm at a desk near the front entrance when you come in. For the main hall, you just walk straight through the hotel from the main entrance, past the bar, and eventually you'll get to the back with the main hall and Dealer room etc. That area will be where everything happens during the weekend.

JaneDoe Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) OK, so I have confused myself. My daughter has a higher ticker number than me....much higher so we will be in different groups. I get that I can hang back for the talks so that we are together, but can I do the same with the autographs/photo shoots? It doesn't matter if it's a no (she's a big girl), but I just want to be clear! Edited February 22, 2009 by JaneDoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jola Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Yes you can - that's not a problem. Once your group has been called for anything, you can go at anytime. You just can't group jump early if that makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneDoe Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Thanks Jola....it makes things easier if we stick together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted February 23, 2009 Author Showmasters Admin Share Posted February 23, 2009 Thanks Jola....it makes things easier if we stick together.

Jodie.rawr Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 so as long as you are here when we call your number you will be in the same row as you would have been if you'd sat outside since Edward was born! That made me giggle :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators DavidB Posted February 24, 2009 Moderators Share Posted February 24, 2009 Is there anything in particular? I know it seems like a lot when you read through it, but it's all fairly simple once you get used to doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
