[ST] A big question about comps

   Hi all,

   What I did as Events DivHead over the last few years was to give out  
   1-2 full comps to the specific event runner(s); everyone else  
   involved in the event got a day-of comp. If there were extenuating  
   circumstances, I could give a couple more full comps but I usually  
   cleared that with the con chair staff.

   For Rocky, for example, there were 2 full comps and day-of (Friday,  
   not Saturday :-) comps for everyone else. The event runners told me  
   who got which type and I submitted all that to Reg. For the Period  
   Dance, there were extenuating circumstances and so a couple more full  
   comps were given, at least one of which was a duplicate comp because  
   the person already had been comped by Programming!

   To me, anyway, both Events were worth the comp cost to Arisia as they  
   were multi-hour events that were quite popular.

For Junkyard Wars, I would request comps based *as though* the person
was on a Programming panel, hour per hour (because running a 
Junkyard War for an hour *does* require more effort than being
on, or moderating, a Programming Panel for an hour.

Thus, if the threshold for a Programming comp was four panels == 4 
panels, I'd request comps for anyone putting in that amount of time
on the 'yard. (which was usually myself and maybe one or two other 
people.)
