Second change in game picking.
People who had large amounts of tickets were stuck with limited choices in filling out their final games. This isn't about people with 40+ tickets having to see KC instead of New York - but avoiding them needing to repeatedly squeeze 2-3 games in the same series and with multiple weekday afternoon games. In one case at least, the only way I could fit somebody in was that he had to get 6-8 tickets on the same day in different sections.
Also with the "new car smell" off of Target Field, April and September games were hard to fill in 2011 leaving it up to final 3-4 people to fill many of their games then.
As it stands now, we have 37 people/groups picking games in 2012 and it was 34 last year - and it's much more skewed this year to people getting only 3-5 games.
So - Anyone who has 30+ tickets to use will get 2 bonus picks during the process. This is also incentive to sell the remaining tickets without adding any new people to the group (and thus more pickers).
Round 1 - everybody gets 1 game
Round 2 - everybody gets 1 game
Bonus A - people with 30+ tickets get a bonus pick of one game
Round 3 - everybody gets 2 games
Bonus B - another bonus game pick for people with 30+ tickets
And then we keep going with additional rounds...
I'm attempting to find middle ground here. Everyone will have 2 games before the first of the bonus picks take place. Everyone will have 4 games - and several people will already be done picking, before the 2nd bonus pick.
Anyone who has fewer than 30 tickets who wants to pick up some of the extra slack to get above 30 can do so. Maybe you give them away, maybe you sell them on StubHub if you can't use them yourself. Or create your own mini-group...maybe you have a friend who wants in but doesn't want to buy the 10-ticket minimum to get into the group.
8 Legends Club, 6 Diamond Box, and 22 Field Box tickets remain as of 3/1/12 7 AM.
