Thanks @Polly

what are the dates for this event please ? someone said they thought it was a 3 dayer I hope thats not the case as players get sick of the prizes and more or less have them all halfway into the second day If it is 3 days is it ok to opt out of the third day and just host for vouchers at our normal place

for what I understood hosts are allways allowed to also hand out vouchers at event games next to the eventprizes, it is rarely done but hey its the hosts choice to do it or not’
And you may host at events its not an obligation, so if you don’t want to host at the 3rd day of an event then don’t and do your own thing .

I think a lot has to do with the prizes available PLUS having a third game per hour now. If the prizes are more “sought after”, you will have people playing more games. If the prizes are “eh”, you won’t find people as interested. On the other hand, certain games like Blitz have a smaller number of people who are SO good at it, they win consistently and any others don’t have a chance to win prizes at those games. I mean seriously, I could play Blitz all day but unless other players don’t show up, there’s no way I could win a top prize lol And, that’s fine. You also have people (how they do it I don’t know) playing two games at a time and therefore their chances of winning what they want increases before the third day.
My event mid-May is going to be three days. I’m HOPING that the prizes, a hunt and a costume contest will be plenty to keep people happy and wanting to play but also for the F U N of playing games. I’ll be encouraging hosts to consider bringing their own special FLAIR to their games to draw players in as well.
There are always going to be people that just want to play games for fun and others that want the prizes………. Hopefully the majority wants both!

There’s also the idea that many members work mid-week so they might miss out on playing the games. So, in Mikey’s case here, he hosts 3 instead of 2 to give more chances to play. Mikey’s rw job requires weekends but he likes to be involved with games when he can. Why can’t we just give kudos to the hosts who care enough to provide the games?
As far as vouchers during events games, it’s always been my understanding that Special Prizes at Events are in leu of vouchers. So no, vouchers should never be used at Events Games. Any type currency (gold, tokens, vouchers) is not a Special Event Prize. Plus it wasn’t what the Event Coordinator chose for the prize. Kinda defeats the purpose of special prizes being made if we replace them with vouchers.
My 2 tokens worth.
