This was my first gencon and I had a great time. I thought the Tables were great really drew a lot of traffic over as I was playing. Having the demo tables right next to the playing space made it very easy to encourage people to go over and give the game a try.
The enforcer Brawl was a lot of fun and a great social event. I loved that on Thursday evening I got to play against and meet 9 people in around 3 hours. That being said don't think that it needed to be a qualifier for masters, and I'm glad Joe is considering keeping it as a non-qualifier for next year.
The Henchman Hardcore was a fun format, I liked playing in it and enjoyed most of my games, but thought there could be a better way to generate pairings for each round. I think that it being a qualifier was a great way to get people playing in the event and trying a new thing.
The Masters was really well done. The number of rounds and round times made it a great event for a convention setting. The prize support for the Top 4 was nice. I like the idea of raffling off prizes after the top players got stuff, but would like to see actual tickets next year. I wouldn't mind seeing another 50ss but I don't think it is necessary as there were open spots on the day of with only one tournament. I know given all the other stuff going on I wouldn't register for 2-50ss tourneys.
Having print outs of the format documents was a nice touch made it easy to settle minor confusion without needing to call a judge. some basic sound amplification would be really good for calling out pairings.
The sales booth was really nice and had plenty of people to answer questions whenever I was over there.
Lastly thanks to everyone who volunteered there time you guys made the convention a great experience.
