There are two suggestions that I have that I feel are very important.
If you are starting your own group, before you even play, get out a pen and paper and make sure these things are
taken care of. This will help avoid future problems, which noone wants.
1.Gameplay money amount should be set, and agreed upon by all.
2.Tie breakers, will you have them split the money, or have a roll off.
3.How game play money will be split up.
4.Who will be responsible for finding a sub, the group, or the one who can't be there.
These may not seem like big issues, and they don't have to be, but it is in everyone's best intrest to make these
decisions right away. This will eliminate any future debates over these topics.
Okay, for my next suggestion.
If you also host or sell pampered chef, avon, mary kay, ect parties and you would like to invite your group to, or
catalogs you would like them to see, don't push it on anyone.
That is one of the quickest ways to lose people from your group. My suggestion is to put your invitations,
or catalogs on the table where the food is, or the gifts, that way people who are interested will take them, but the ones
who aren't don't feel obligated.
