Donating to an organization like the NSSCDS is a great thing! Had a great time at the last conference, lots of awesome people to meet.

Does anyone know how many tickets were sold so far?
Garth, I do not know the exact amount of tickets that have been sold. I will tell you that I sold a lot of tickets at DEMA last week. Rod is going to check with Adam to see how close we are getting to the 600. As you all know who have made a chance donation, every ticket is numbered. Hope to see you again in June at the International Cave Divers Conference.
Move along, nothing to see here. [emoji33]Quote:

I love a good raffle. Even one I don't win. Some of the people who win however aren't as happy as I was...
actually I have yet to find someone as happy.

Good choice. Kids can really have a negative effect on your dive budget.Quote:

Each ticket is numbered. When you purchase your ticket look at the number and that will let you know how many have been sold. Many people are waiting for the Conference to be close at hand before getting a ticket. The maximum is 600 so I don't expect it to be available at the June Conference.
I bought one through the NSS-CDS store, but I don't recall ever seeing the actual ticket. Do they mail them out?Quote:

If you haven't received your numbers yet, that is fine, I expect to be caught up with everyone by this weekend.
Give me until the weekend to get the most recent ticket numbers out. If you haven't heard from me by the end of the weekend, check your spam email, or please contact me:

There will be a physical drawing at the conference, to be performed by Casey (I think?) with actual tickets (provided by the CDS) and will be oversaw by myself and Al. In addition to the name, a corresponding number will be included on each ticket (what I'm emailing to you) so I can easily track whats happening, and ensure no one is left out. For accounting purposes, and Florida gaming laws, there are a gambit of rules and red tape we must go through to make sure we aren't breaking the law as a non-profit by having raffles like this. So that is why we are running it in the manner that we do.Quote:

With a little over 1/3 of the tickets sold already and 5 months away, it is obvious that all the chances will be gone before the conference.
I have been asked if there was more interest would it be feasible for the CDS to offer more chances? The answer is absolutely no. If a person spends $100.00 then that person gets 5 tickets. So if you do the math you really won't have 600 sold tickets.
I was at Dive Outpost last week and several were going to purchase tickets. For those asking about an increase in tickets my answer is this; "If you want to have a chance to win the Suex along with the training, your opportunity is now.":smt102
