How the Bag Raffle works

1. Visit the Swag Table (look for the signs) and purchase as many tickets as you like for $1.00 each.
2. Please P-R-I-N-T your (legal) name clearly on both halves of the ticket. If you choose not to do this, then you risk losing your booty if you lose your ticket stub. Do not use pre-printed labels.
3. Separate the two halves of the tickets and keep the halves that say "KEEP THIS COUPON" in the safest place you can find. Don't lose them!
4. Now that the "KEEP THIS COUPON" halves are safe, go ahead and wander over to the Raffle Alley to see the vast array of booty available.
5. When a bauble or trinket (or sharp pointy implement!) catches your eye, just drop a ticket (or more than one) into the bag that corresponds to the item you would like to win. Remember that the more tickets ye drop in, the better yer odds of winning!
6. No excessive loiterin' in the Alley. If ya git caught malingerin' and generally causing a traffic problem, ye run the risk o' being hauled off ta the Brig!
7. At specified waypoints throughout the evenin' the Raffle Crew will go 'round to each item in a (clearly marked) section. Then they will draw a single ticket from each of the bags, recordin' which ticket it was what got drawn from which bag. The Crew will then post the winning names and numbers so that all can see what they won.
8. The owner of the ticket (who can prove it's their ticket by producin' the other half) drawn for a particular item wins that item and can claim it after that round of drawings has ended.

Common Mistakes

• Writing partial (or illegible) names on your tickets. Yes, you can still claim your prize if you have the other half of your ticket (did we mention yet that ya need to keep the half that says "KEEP THIS COUPON"?!?!), but without your name on the ticket, it will be much harder for you to know that you've won.
• Dropping the wrong half of your ticket in the bag. See #1 above.
• Depositing tickets into the wrong bag -- Please be 'cuz what goes in the bag... stays in the bag. Do not reach into raffle bags.
• You lost the other half of your ticket -- notify the Raffle Chair of your situation if you believe you have won. You will have to wait until the end of the evening, but you may still be able to claim your prize.

For all Bag Raffle items, ya MUST claim yer prize before by 10:00 p.m. Any unclaimed items will be disposed of however Team Wench sees fit -- with an eye towards making more money for the charities. You also must present your half of yer ticket that was drawn to claim the item. You did put it in a safe place, right?

With the advent of Team Wench, Inc.'s new tax status (i.e., that of a corporation), every donation that is accepted by the corporation has to be added to inventory and tagged prior to the night of the event. Unless pre-arranged with the Raffle Chair, items delivered to the raffle room on the night of the Feast will be graciously accepted and placed in a future Team Wench Event raffle.
