- Shirts for next year would likely be Event shirt, two Zeldas (Triforce and MM Clocktower), Final Fantasy (Crystals), and two others (based on what games are at the event).
- Disaster preparedness: notes on what to do in the case of emergencies will be included in the event brochure. This will include notes on routes of egress from the building, and also what to do with tournaments if a game is interrupted due to an emergency situation.
