Gamers,
It has been bought to my attention that the cost of the Greek School to hire is $600 per lan.
Effectively in order to cover this cost we need to ensure we have at least 30 gamers at the event and then an additional $75 to cover the insurance. From my understanding the last DGA event was less than 20 people.
I cannot confirm this to be exact but neverless there were not 30 present hence we now appear to owe the Greek School some dollars that we need to make up before the next lan.
So as the current President and with the support of the vice president I have only one real option here unless things improve.
There will be no further lans sanctioned or allowed at the Greek School using the DGA name. As an organisation and a registered association we need to protect ourselves and ensure we remain within the confines of the regulations.
The idea of the DGA registration page is for the organisers to analyse if there are enough participants to cover the costs of the DGA. We run a non profit organisation. The DGA registration page shows 29 registered participants and I know from the past that we usually lose between 5 and 15% due to other commiments.
If you want to run a DGA event, you will either contact myself or Unseen for approval, either way we are both to be informed.
If you continue and run it anyway, you will be held accountable for the losses and make up the shortfall yourselves.
Myself and other admins and commitee members have said this before that unless the gamers and participants come back, the lans are not cost effective and I for one do not want to dip into my own pocket hundreds of dollars just to cover an event that should have been cancelled if the numbers did not add up.
I will need to call a meeting in the very near future to discuss the future of DGA as it may result in having one lan per year if we dont get the support.
I dont say this lightly so please read and understand the reasons why we need to take these steps.
If we dont have the numbers or support our hands are tied.
We need 40 people. If the numbers are not there in the DGA signup page prior to the lan, it wont go ahead. There are no exceptions.
