Ledged

🔸 Event host

🔹 Everyone else

🟢 Elected team facilitator

🥇 Goal: These will help you improvise.
This checklist is detailed, but you can reach the goals using your judgment if you think you can achieve them faster than the checklist suggests.

🟦🟦🟦 Headers, subheaders 1, 2, 3.

🔄 Conditional

🟧🟧🟧 Basic Introduction

Start with this checklist.

🔸 Say: Today we will vote on pitches but none will be approved. This is all about getting feedback on your ideas for Monday.

🔸 Say: You won't know if your game idea is approved until Monday. Not improving on feedback during this pitch session will likely count against you Monday.

🔸 Say: Be open to scrapping over-scoped or ideas which gets mostly negative feedback.

🔸 Say: The winner Monday gets 6000 Helpfulness.

🟧🟧🟧 Invites

🔸 Ask people to tag their team & invite friends.

🔸Give them time.

🟧🟧🟧 Pitch Prep

🔸Say: Now, we're going to listen to everyone's pitch, and I want everyone to write down positives and negatives of each pitch as you hear them on your own piece of paper.

🔸Paste: Template for feedback for each game:

`# Game Name

## Going Well:
✅
✅
✅

## Improvements Needed:
❎
❎
❎`

🔸Say: Pitch quickly. You have 5 minutes, stay in the time limit or you will be disqualified.

🔸Say: As people pitch write down their game name and 3 points of positive and negative feedback at least.

🔸Say: Typically, when people pitch stuff, the advantage goes to the first person and the last person due to how human memory works. If you'd like to be the first team to pitch, speak up now. Speak up in voice chat only.

🔸Action: Time the pitches and make sure that they stay within 5 minutes. Disqualify them if they take more than 6.

🟧🟧🟧 Pasting Pitch Info

🔸Say: Now, in order from the first person to share their pitches to the last, I want you all to post in chat, with nobody else chatting, each different pitch with only 4 elements:

Project name.
Your one-sentence summary.
Your planned impact on the world.
A link to your team's registration. I have pasted a link which will show you how to get a link to your team's registration page.

That's it. Good luck everybody, prepare to do that right now. We're going to start with the first person that pitched.

🔸Action: Have everyone post.

Add a ✅, 🤚 and ❌ to every pitch.

🔸Paste in chat:

Feedback on the pitch should be based on this criteria:

# 8 slide pitch

- Is your idea put so simply that anyone can understand it in two slides? Does it have images?
- Is it clear how the game fulfills the team's goals.
- Is it clear how this game makes an impact on the world for good?
- Is the art style clear?
- Is it clear what the project will look like when complete and how long it will take the project to be completed if selected?
- Is it clear who the target audience is?
- Is it too wordy?

🟧🟧🟧 Pitch Session

🔸Open:

🔄🔄 If you have less than 13 pitches

🔸Action: Do this for each pitch:

Remind everyone to write down their feedback for the pitch

Give them 5 min to pitch

Celebrate the pitch with the soundboard

Highlight the pros of the pitch

Bring up any cons

Ask the community for feedback on the pitch 🔸Say: Anyone want to be brave and share some affirmations or concerns about the pitch? What are some things the pitch did well or where was it lacking?

🔸Say: Feedback is always welcome in chat too.

🔸Say: Anything that confused you about the pitch?

Do this for each pitch.

🔄🔄 If you have 13+

🔸Action: Do this for each pitch:

Remind everyone to write down their feedback for the pitch

Give them 5 min to pitch

Celebrate the pitch with the soundboard

REMEMBER TO CELEBRATE EACH PITCH!!

🔸Say: Now that everyone has posted their pitches, I want everyone to give two different pitches a negative vote. Two negative votes per person.

🔸Say: However, when you vote you MUST leave feedback along with your vote or it does not count.

🔸Say: Hover over the post and click reply as you leave feedback.

🔸Paste: https://i.imgur.com/pqpoj3i.png

🔸Say: New people can vote too!

🔸Say: Everyone should check the reactions to ensure no one cheats, but we're trusting people not to do so. Then, we need to post some feedback on why and how we think the pitch could be improved. This way, we're giving each other critical feedback, which is typically much more valuable than positive feedback.

🔸Say: But we must also grow a thick skin and not take it personally. We can use gentle language as we share how these pitches can be improved -- please include the positives. This way, everybody benefits from feedback from the whole community, unless their pitch is perfect. Include feedback on the quality of the idea, fun of the game etc.

🔸Say: 50% of the teams with the least negative votes wins 4000 Helpfulness.

🟧🟧🟧 Hold the Vote

🔸Action: Hold the vote, choose the winners based on the least negative votes.

🔸Action: The team with the least negative votes has won today's competition, use /give-coins to give them 4000 Helpfulness.

🔸Say: Team, you must remember to put this on your submission form; otherwise, those bonus points won't count. Let them know via the submission form when you get it that you won this competition.

🔸Say: Congratulations!

🔸Say: If you would like to join one of the teams that presented today, hit the ✋on the team you want to join. Then reply to their post with your skill set.
