Is there an incentive to being #100 or #150 for that matter? Maybe VIP Status or a free lapdance from the strippers?

Won't be any close to 150 players eh?  Many people took 2 or 3 seats.  Probly for personal space.

Well, Krurath, when you have that much porn you need more than one computer to haul it all in ;)

Or it could be that one person is reserving spots for a friend or two, thereby assuring that seating is next to each other.

Personally, I feel the prize list needs to fill out more to attract more of the "competetion" crowd.  Looking over the prize list, things are pretty skimpy.  While I understand things progress at a slow rate, especially with sponsorships, it's getting down to less than 50 days until the event.

Now would also be a good time to hit the I-cafe's/Electronic Stores in Harrisburg/Baltimore and the surrounding areas with flyers promoting the event.   These don't have to be hand delivered, but emailed with a request to post to an onsite (IRL) Bboard.

Unfortunately we have learned that due to corporate end of fiscal years being July 31 makes it very difficult to get sponsorships for an August event.  We also have to remember, that while 150 people is a big lan for central PA, we are still very small on the grand scale of things.  

In doing research of other lans, our sponsored prizes are expectional compared to similar sized lans!  We have tried very hard to get sponsorships, and probably have contacted 500+ companies.  Half of which respond with the message that our expected attendees is too small for them to sponsor.

At this point, we have to take what we can get.  As we grow, so will the sponsorship list.

As for the advertising.  We used to put out flyers all of the time... but I dont think we got a single person coming to the event who saw us via that.  50 days is a lot of time to fill up this lan.  For our last 100 ML in February.  We filled up 50 seats in less than a month.

We will be just fine ;)
