Lobby Needs & Assessments

 

iPlay clubs are provided with private lobbies to hold their events.  The rule of thumb used is that there should be about 10-15 events per lobby.  Requests should be sent to clubs@iplay.net if the club owner is having difficulty finding locations to schedule their events.

 

When a lobby request is received, an assessment is made which includes the following:

 

bullet

Number of events/classes the club currently has scheduled;

bullet

How many lobbies does the club have;

bullet

Placement of current events;

bullet

Placement of future events.

Event Late Starts

 

iPlay clubs open events are scheduled to start on the top of the hour.  All events should be underway at that time.

 

Here are some helpful hints to get your events going in a timely manner.  They will assist in keeping your events running smoothly and getting players in their games.

 

bullet

If you find yourself getting too busy right at the top of the hour to run the player assignments, close sign ups a few minutes early and offer to resume getting late comers in after the initial assignments are run.

bullet

Set a kitchen timer to ring 5 minutes before the start of the event to help you prevent losing track of time.

bullet

Engage a co-host during the busy times of the event to help keep things running smoothly.

 

Share your tips with us.

Event Count Assessments

 

iPlay clubs open events are programmed to take the attendance count at 15 minutes after the start of every open event. 

 

Event counts are beneficial to both the clubs and to iPlay.  They help us find out information such as:

 

bullet

The approximate number of players attending an event;

bullet

How successful is the event;

bullet

Has the event been covered regularly by the club staff;

bullet

Should the club consider a format change or time change to increase attendance.

 

Club owners are sent their event counts on a monthly basis for their review and information. 

 

To receive counts for an event(s) during the course of the month please email your request to Event Counts Inquiry.
