- Acolyte Prizes
are provided to sponsored hosts with regularly scheduled games reflected
on the games calendar. Each prize set is engraved with the dates these
prizes are to be used and will include 4 main prizes: one wearable,
one container, one plushie/animal, and one activated knickknack.
Additionally, each prize set will include 6 doorprize level items.
- Acolyte Event
Prize Packs are provided to sponsored hosts participating in Event
Games, who request prizes to supplement their Event Prizes. Acolyte
Event Prize Packs consist of ten doorprize level items, and exclude
the 4 main prizes and weekly prizes. The prizes in Event Prize
Packs do not change throughout any given month. All regularly
scheduled games reflected on the daily calendar, which are also on any
Event Games calendar, will utilize their normal Acolyte and Weekly Prizes,
in addition to Event Prizes.
- Acolyte Weekly
Prizes are prizes provided to sponsored hosts with regularly scheduled
games reflected on the games calendar. These are additional prizes,
frequently (but not always) available, and are provided in addition
to the regular boxed sets. Weekly Prizes become available between
Friday and Sunday of each week, and may be introduced in games, anytime
between Friday and Sunday of each week.
- Acolyte Prizes should
be utilized according to the dates on the boxes. Prize boxes dated
for future weeks should NOT be introduced in games
until the week noted on the box has been reached.
- Hosts, after consulting
with their Sponsor, may opt to include older prize type items with their
current mix of prizes, however, hosts MUST utilize the 4 Main Prizes
and any weekly prizes for the week they are hosting. Only Doorprize
level items may be swapped for older items.
- There is no minimum player requirement
for Daily, Non-event games. If your game can be hosted
with a few players who show up, it is okay to host for them. Prize distribution should be consistent with the number of players you have and the type of game you are hosting. (Note:
There is a minimum player procedure for Event Games) Event Rules.
- There are various
methods used in awarding prizes. Please keep the following in mind:
- If the host randomly
chooses which item to award to a player, that choice must be
made and announced prior to a player winning. It is not acceptable for
a host to chose and award a prize from their pocket after a player has
already won.
- If the order of
prize distribution has been decided prior to the game, that order should
be announced prior to the game, however it is not necessary to do this
if you are announcing the prize prior to each win.
- If allowing players
to chose from a list or set of prizes, this should be announced before
the game.
- If using box picks,
the host must use random boxes and announce that this is the method
which will be used prior to the game.
- It is expected that
whatever method the host uses to award prizes, that method is known
to players at the start of the game, and no unfair advantages will be
provided to any member in order to secure a more desired prize.
- When hosting a game
which awards a specific prize each round, if a player is called down
to play and does not play that round for any reason, they are to be
considered "out" and are not to be called down during a later
round. It is not fair to other members when a player asks the host to
'skip' the round because they do not desire the prize currently being
offered. This defeats the purpose of a random or regular list caller.
The same rule applies to raffles, however the member may participate
in subsequent rounds provided that all other members on the list have
won and the host has cleared the 'already won' list so all registered
members are eligible to win again.
- Games On Hold indicate
no promise of a game, therefore, these games will not allow for “Substitute”
Hosts. However, sponsored hosts may request an Acolyte Prize set
to host an impromptu game during the same time slot as a game on hold.
Weekly Prizes are not provided for impromptu games, they are reserved
for scheduled active games reflected on the daily calendar.
- If a host doesn't
make their scheduled game, a sponsored host may sub for them. If you
sub a game you will be eligible for a prize pack and a weekly prize
if applicable.
- Any issues, concerns,
or comments, regarding a host or their game, should be directed to their
Sponsor, using the Email List found on the Main Daily Calendar Page.
