we brought a giveaway (pencils with a paper tag message of good luck on them) last year in our rookie season. One other group brought some candy and that was it. People looked at us like we were nuts last year and nobody wanted our pencils :(
We thought it was like swaps at girl scouts and came prepared! lol

Even I don't know about this. Can someone clarify if it is really needed?

Maybe I missed this somewhere, but this is the first I am hearing about a need to bring things to give away. Is this truly necessary? I don't want to add on another task to our team 9 days out from the tournament.

Candy is honestly the most popular giveaway!  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!

Hi all --

In terms of things to give away at the qualifier, how do you figure out how many? 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?

Thanks,
Beth
