Symposium Prizes
ADUG wishes to acknowledge these friends of the ADUG for supporting us with donations of valuable products.
The prize draw is the final event of the day, held immediately after the last presentation, and operates like so:
procedure ADUGPrizePicker; begin PopulateListOfAllPrizes; while PrizesAvailable do begin if AttendeeListEmpty then PopulateListOfAllAttendees; RandomlyPickAWinnerFromAttendees; AskWinnerToSelectPrizeFromAvailablePrizes; while WaitingForPrizeSelection do begin if WinnerTakingTooLong then StirWinner; end; if WinnerTookFarTooLong then AllocateRandomPrize; NoteSelectedPrize; RemoveSelectedPrizeFromAvailablePrizes; RemoveWinnerFromAttendees; end; end;
Draw rules:
- Only attendees who have registered and paid before the symposium date are eligible for the prize draw.
- The organisers will make their best efforts to conduct the prize draw in an unbiased and fair manner, and inform all winners of their prize, however no responsibility is taken.
- Attendees are encouraged to remain for the duration of the prize draw to ensure their claim on any prizes.
- Attendees un-avoidably unable to remain for the prize draw (e.g. due to flight times) may arrange a proxy:
- Proxies voters must be arranged prior to the commencement of the prize draw.
- A proxy may either be the ADUG President, or another attendee.
- Proxies provided to the President must be in writing and consist of no more than three prize selections.
- Non-president proxies must be disclosed to the President before the prize draw.
- If none of the prizes nominated in the proxy are available a random prize will be selected.
Prizes notes:
- The prizes from each vendor will be divided between the two venues proportionate with the number of attendees. Therefore not all prizes may be available at both venues.
- Pricing is approximate and has been adjusted for international exchange rates.
(1.00 AUD = 0.71 USD, 1.00 AUD = 0.63 EUR)
see relevant product website for more details - AUD$ pricing excludes GST
- Prizes are provided at the discretion of the sponsor.
ADUG will not be liable for any discrepancies between the prize description here and the prize provided by the sponsor.
For your convenience in selecting your preferred prize before the prize draw, below are links to venue specific prize lists in both Excel spreadsheet and pdf formats. Most prizes are available at both venues, though not all in the same quantity. For the smooth flowing of the prize draw – especially important for those with flights to catch – it is strongly recommended that you have your prize selection ready before the prize draw – dawdlers will be subject to being RPAB’ed (Random Prize Allocation Button)
Good luck!
