This is not strictly necessary...however many teams (if not all) do it. When we went to a FIRST tournament the very first time, we realized everyone does it........then my team also wanted to do it. We went to worlds last year (was mentoring older son's FTC), man! it was crazy over there...kids were collecting buttons,,,,,,,I saw one who may have had hundreds pinned to his cape! Its all about "showmanship" at that point Ha ha But there is no official rule anywhere that says you gotta do it. My rookie team is not doing it, at least not for the very first tournament...... if that helps Sincerely, Rajeev Mehra Coach: Ultimate Onions FLL team # 47864 ________________________________ From: First Lego League in Virginia and DC <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of Lahiri Hanumanula <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2019 2:58 PM To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: [VADCFLL-L] Rookie Coach -- Give-away question Even I don't know about this.

If you consider that teams have around 10 members, you can multiply by the number of teams. Personally, I just bring a bunch of whatever; and when we run out, we run out! We just put them on the table in front of our team boards. It encourages other teams to stop by and at least glance at the board, I find (most of us feel guilty just taking the candy/item and leaving, so we at least look!) No one cares about the value. This is ours for this year...totally 100% because the co-coach is creative! I've been doing this for about a decade; when it's left to me, I just our some candy in a bucket on the table! The pins are homemade, by the way!

I know the number of teams, but is there a rule of thumb. Also, do you bring lots of the same thing or different things and if different are they all of equal "value." Finally, how do the give-aways work?
