One question that's bugged me after running 9 tournaments...

Post by Darkson »

Why do coffee drinkers insist on using the same spoon they use for the coffee granules, and then put it in the sugar? It's disgusting, especially when the tournament organiser deliberately puts a spoon in the sugar before any of them turn up. :roll:

Next year, some of the prize fund is going towards getting a sugar dispenser.

Blood Bowl players should be tough enough to drink it black and like it

I drink coffee every day, but if I was offered coffee granules, ie. instant coffee. I'd drink tea instead. So I cannot comment on why they do that. I don't think I would, but we'll never know for sure because I'm NOT drinking instant. :D

Find a venue that has an espresso machine (preferably with someone to make it), or at least a filter.

I usually take just a drop of coffee to color my morning whiskey. 8)

You serve coffee? As in you're setting it all up and paying for it? Seems odd to me, we don't do any sort of beverage service at Australian events.

I supply tea and coffee, and doughnuts on the Saturday (and the Sunday if I'm not playing round 4).

I bring a few big bags of sweets but otherwise my players have access to a cafe and bar if they want something to eat or drink. Who needs coffee when you can have a beer instead ;)

Set your ticket prices to have a bit of surplus and use that to buy coffee. Easy ;)

Not every event does it, but it is nice to rock up in the mornings and make a brew ;)

TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.
Bribe level: good coffee.

Our location doesn't have either a cafe or a bar, so I either provide tea and coffee, or half my coaches go out in search and en up coming back late for rounds - bad enough have to chase them down after lunch. Sure, I'd love to book somewhere more central and/or with on-site food/drink options, but last I looked (when we thought we might lose our current venue) the cheapest option was 3 times what I currently paid, meaning I'd have to nearly double my ticket price.
