Re: Suggestions For Developing Off Seasons Without The 'Like IRI' Mindset Trap

We've learned a lot over the years of developing Ruckus and were discussing doing something similar (at least organizing & releasing all of our documentation on our website).

I think the reality is offseasons need to start simple as you suggest. JUST start with a 1 day event, do things that appeal to ALL people, not just FIRSTaholics or CD'ers, be careful with your food & registration costs - keep them as low as possible, and start small, focus on the local teams.

I will let you know when we get our documentation up... I had a list that Jason Rees and I generated the first year of things our Committee needed to discuss and plan, and thats probably a good way for most events to start.
