Sensory Boards
#5
Somewhere on the old notice board Mike Scott made a good suggestion.
Auction places on the live boards to the players.

I suggest inviting sealed bids before each round from the individual players.
(not necessarily bidding for their own game - where is that Devil Icon? on this board).

If the average sealed bid accepted were to be £2.50
Then a 5 round 8 board event would raise £100

Setting £50 per congresses puts value of a single broadcast game at £1.25
Making it too cheap guys. This is expensive kit worthy of respect.
Average bid above £2.50 and we start to move into serious money.


And after all £2.50 is not much for transferring your game to the well lit, comfortably heated and quiet hushed location used for the sensory boards.
