The Vancouver Regional has suffered declining attendance for the last few years. This is due to a combintion of factors, the time of year, the venue, the format of the event and so forth.
The organization of the Regional, is not strictly the purview of unit 430, rather it belongs to District 19, Dino. However this post is an attempt to reach out and solicit ideas that could be passed on to the tournament chair, Cam Doner.
The 2012 regional will have a new location, the River Rock Casino in Richmond BC, and a new team friendly format (KO's starting every day).
In addition we would like to create an environment of community and fun around the event similar (if we can :)!) to what it is like in Penticton or Alaska.
Anyone have any ideas?
Someone has suggested that we take the money we would normally spend on evening snacks and put it to better use, perhaps by having more meaningful souvenir handouts.
Is this a good idea, or do players like their 11:00PM ice cream?
What sort of handouts would be appreciated?
Does anyone have any suggestions for sponsors who might be willing to donate handouts?

I think a snack at 11PM is expected by the players. They certainly are gobbled up quick enough!
ReplyDeleteI suppose it would depend on what sort of handouts one would get.
To build a spirit of fun, perhaps fun entertainment that people actually participate in.
