Hi members! There have been some concerns regarding RSVPs & attendance at our events.
Unfortunately in the recent past we’ve had members who responded “YES” to the event RSVP not showing up; this leaves folks on the wait list (typically 8-10 more people on said list!) out in the cold 🙁
Due to limited space at the venue & the consistent waiting list, we kindly request your cooperation in ensuring that those who want to attend our EGL game nights are able to do so.
To that end, effective Jan 2025 we have implemented the following attendance policy:
- Members who RSVP but do not attend (no-show) will receive -1 point
- Members who consistently no-show to events may be banned from the group
For example, if Johnny RSVPs for 3 events but only attends 1, Johnny’s gonna receive -1 point.
Members who reach -2 points will receive a warning, and those who reach -3 points may be banned from the group.
Hosting a large game gathering takes a lot of planning & effort – so please be courteous, help hosts with our planning and cancel your RSVP if you can’t make it.
Life happens! Plans can change or perhaps you realize you may be sick at the last minute; the polite/responsible thing to do is let your hosts know ASAP, allowing folks on the waitlist a chance to join the event.
If you need to cancel for whatever reason, cancel your RSVP on our event platform ASAP, ideally at least 6 hours before the event.
Finally, we understand it’s often not easy to go to a new place full of strangers, but our group does our best to be open, welcoming & provide a safe space at our game night events.
Please ensure you check in with the host upon arrival at all events, so that your attendance can be tallied.
Thank you for your understanding & cooperation.
If you have RSVPd but decide not to attend, PLEASE UPDATE your RSVP on meetup by 3pm Monday at the latest! We always have people on the wait-list, so ask you to be considerate by providing sufficient notice to those waiting so they may attend. Frequent Nth-hour cancellations may be grounds for dismissing one from the group.
