I see the Disney analogy differently. Parents should be admitted free. Children's admission should be huge - its not a day care and unsupervised children...
Consistancy is very important, so the referee system is better than comping some judges/GMs. How does COtN enforce the no-participation for referees rule? If...
... I would assume the rule would be enforced in the same way the rule for spectators is enforced -- i.e., if you don't have a ticket you don't play. In the...
I'd like to apologize to everyone for not getting the word out well before the meeting. The Compass was originally supposed to go out in April and this was...
... The Judges and Referees enforce the policy that only people with Player badges can play at their events. Even if you have a ticket, you still need your...
The problem with the policy is you're assuming that those who just are referees with abide by the rules set up for them and will not try to play in any games....
To enforce this you have to make sure that the GM's look at everyones badges to make sure they have only players/judges playing in there game. Which to be...
... Two of the standard counter-arguments to paying for tickets: It would be an accounting nightmare. Either we'd have to set up some kind of proper online...
Now this is troublesome. I don't want to be a policeman. Many people take tickets and don't show. In fact I have run games where there were so many no-shows...

This feels like its being blown out of proportion. One of the main reasons the people who Love CoTN do so, is because its simple as well as fun. Gives it kind...
... Well, to put it simply, if you're concerned enough about this to make an issue of it on the list you darn well ought to be willing to be a policeman,...
The simple answer to this problem: Referees cannot get tickets, as badges are carefully checked at registration. Anyone with a ticket is safe bet to be a...
In my opinion, the Con was put in a bad position years ago when some of these exceptions were first made. Although we can't correct what others did in the...
You missed the point. The COtN as an organization should know who everyone in the gaming and relevent common areas is. This is a strong disincentive to any...
Well I remember when this con first started, we did not give out any comps whats so ever. There was one exception, and that was the year David Arneson came to...
I apologize. I thought the main concern from your previous post was that Referees might be able to play in games without paying. How would you suggest CotN as...
