What and How do I win Prizes?
It might be easiest to go night by night:
Monday Night Football:
Every time you drink a Miller Lite, you are entered into a raffle for Miller prizes that night. The winner is then entered into a raffle at the end of the year for a Super Bowl party in the lounge - brought to you by Miller Brewing Company. You can also win prizes by playing Madden 2008 on the xbox 360 (thanks to Game Crazy). Every time you beat your friend, not only do you get to talk trash, but you are entered into a raffle for prizes from local communities. at the end of the semester, the winners of these raffles will be entered into another raffle for free admission to one of our classes (beer, whiskey, bartending, tequila, etc). More on those later.
Tuesday Trivia Night:
The winning team gets a pint glass from Hoegarten, Bass, or Samuel Adams filled with their favorite draft beer. They also get a raffle entry for a free lounge/karaoke party. They also get a prize from a local business. Second place gets one pint glass and a raffle entry. Third place gets a raffle entry. Every one gets to be impressed by your knowledge.
In Addition, we are also trying a Customer of the Month scenario. What happens here? Well - for those members who are noticeable for their awesomeness, attend frequently, tip well, and are generally good people will receive $1 drinks for the next month, a free lounge rental, and a prize from a local merchant.
