Event Guidelines

This is a short list of things that we have learnt during our first large(r) event, the March 2009 Lasertagging.

Advertise early, Advertise often.
Even if there are 10 people from syn2cat, nobody is happy to offer a hand by themselves, probably fearing to be in the way. Delegation is king. (and once you delegate, work gets done)
Roles must be clearly defined beforehand and somebody must be tasked with overseeing ONLY: Are the cables laid so that nobody can trip? Are the beamers well focused and pointing where they should? Did we unpack the batteries?
It (??)
Check if all of the required material is available. i.e. If you're planning to have a security zone, ask yourself:
- "What does such a security zone look like?" - Picture it!
- "What do I need to set it up?" - Make a list of all the materials
- "Do I have everything I need to set it up?" - Acquire them
