2012 Game Picking - Process Recap - March 24

A reminder that we meet on Saturday March 24 at Park Tavern in St. Louis Park.
1:30-5 PM

Below, there are two posts about changes in the game-picking process in 2012 - See information about bonus picks for people who take afternoon games and for people/groups with large accounts.

Here's the full process for picking games March 24:
Reminder - a "Game" is 2 or 4 tickets in one section however you choose to break it out.

I'll pre-draw the random names (at least through Round 4) and send them out to you ahead of time to make the day go faster.

1. Place people in selected weekday afternoon games.
2. Random drawing for people who took weekday afternoon games.  1-game bonus pick.
3. Round 1: Random drawing - everybody gets 1 game
4. If necessary, 2nd bonus pick for afternoon games.
5. Round 2: Random drawing - everybody gets 1 game
6. Bonus Pick A for people who have 30+ tickets
7. If necessary, 3rd bonus pick for afternoon games.
8. Round 3: Random drawing - everybody gets maximum of 2 games
9. Bonus Pick B for people who have 30+ tickets
10. Round 4: Random drawing - everybody gets maximum of 2 games
11. Round 5 - Full random - we pick until we run out of people who need games.

There's also a slight variation in the number of games per round.
By comparison, 2011 was:
Round 1 - everyone gets 1 game
Round 2 - everyone gets 1 game
Round 3 - everyone gets 1 game
Round 4 - everyone gets 2 games
Round 5 - everyone gets 2 games
Round 6 - full random

Quick recap of how many people are picking in each seating section
You're not competing against the entire group during the selection process.
Legends Club: 18 (after the 2 seat owners take out their tickets)
Diamond Box: 25
Field Box: 26

Keep in mind most of the bigger accounts are crossing sections, so that full number will almost never be picking in the same seat category as you in any given round.
