Feedback Survey Results

FallCon Gaming Society - Sunday, November 01, 2009
Despite my best intentions, I didn't get to my promised post about survey results until now. The silver lining is that it gave folks more time to fill out our survey... Without further ado, here are the main takeaway points:

  • We had 54 survey respondents. Thanks for taking the time to let us know what you thought. We appreciate the feedback (all of it).

  • 90% of our respondents gave us a good or great rating overall. Zero bad or terrible ratings. Thanks for the vote of confidence!

  • Most of the constructive criticism revolved around food services and our auction.

  • Regarding food services, we'll work with the St. Peter's Youth Group to have more selections, more consistent portions and better value.

  • Regarding the auction, we know many of you were disappointed when you weren't able to submit your games into the auction. We agree that it wasn't fair and we will again implement limits on how many games people are allowed to sell at the auction. The starting limit will be around 25, which should allow most folks a fair shake. If the auction limit of 500 isn't met by Saturday at noon, we will open the floodgates to anyone with extra games (but we don't anticipate that to occur). In addition to this reinstatement of a hard limit on auction items, the cleverest among the committee are working on some auction enhancements which will make your heart flutter. More on this later on in the year.
We received a ton of other feedback and rest assured that we are taking it all in in the hopes of improving your experience for next year. Our ears are always open, so feel free to drop us a line.

I have two quick community announcements while I'm on my soapbox.

Some board game friends from Medicine Hat are organizing a Risk Tournament on December 5th as a fundraising event to support the local Santa Claus Fund. More information about the event can be found at the Game for Good website.

I've been chatting with Jonathan over at CalCon and he'd like to give our FallCon attendees a break on the CalCon registration fee. Until November 15th, you'll be able to get a weekend pass for $30 with promotional code "Fun". You can register and pay with the code by going to their registration page.

Until next time, wishing you lucky rolls.
