Anime Expo 2014 AMV Competition - Finalist List POSTED!

[Castor Troy]

As for Size of the AMV room, yes it is small, but there is not practical solution to this after looking at the options that "May" have potential

As for the lines, Myself and out staff worked all hours of the day to help out. In fact, a lot of times we had to help or even take control of the lines! We tried to d everything we could to stay on time and we did, HOWEVER due to all the staff turnarounds in line control, and the fact they were moved outside, it made it VERY hard to keep control over the AMV stickers and even in some cases the premium passes.. Sorry for those that were denied early entry, we just did the best we could... For me I was super tired after the con for everything I only left the room to do line control!

I would think a room the size of the Sakura Con AMV room would suffice. Only room I really think that can measures up at the LACC is the Concourse Hall.

Red stickers were for people who were a finalist, or who were scheduled to do an important activity in the AMV room. They meant that you got into the AMV rescreening or the AMV room no matter what, even if the room was full.

That's what I thought you said. Unfortunately none of the access control ever understood that :\ but luckily I never encountered a problem myself, except for outside the rescreen but pwolf was right there to save me

Just a quick clarification - what was the difference between the Red AMV stickers and the Silver AMV stickers? what did they do and who got which? Even I got confused.

Red stickers were for people who were a finalist, or who were scheduled to do an important activity in the AMV room. They meant that you got into the AMV rescreening or the AMV room no matter what, even if the room was full.

Silver stickers were for non-finalists. They meant that you had priority only if there were seats available.

That's interesting... I think Katie and I both got silver stickers, despite being finalists and with Katie being the Iron Chef challenger. Didn't really matter since we got in without any problems in all events we went to anyhow...

If you did that would've been my fault... I think I remember giving you guys the red ones but considering how crazy it was, I wouldn't be surprised if I screwed that up -_-

Scott was just trying to make reasons for me to fire him so that I don't put him through that kind of hell ever again. It won't work!
