2012 Artists' Alley Lottery Results

The FINAL 2012 Artists' Alley lottery results are here!

Some interesting stats:

• 17 of you won only 1 day (all 17 signed up for only 2 days).
• 149 of you won 2 days (27 signed up for 2 days, 122 signed up for 3).
• 19 of you won 3 days (all 19 signed up for 3 days, derp!).
• 1 artist won no seats at all (that person only signed up for Friday, which has the most competition). I will send an email to that person to try to work something out.

Since this is the first year doing it this way, we have reserved 4 seats each day to deal with those who may be caught unawares. (EDIT) These will be raffled off informally at the Hall C entrance 15 minutes prior to opening.(/EDIT) These seats will be unavailable to those who have signed up for the lottery properly, but everyone--lottery participants and walk-ups--is invited to utilize the deli system to obtain seats during the day as they become available.

The 2012 Artists' Alley list of artists who signed up, posted here for review. The chronological list will be used for the randomization, filtered appropriately for each day so that Friday-only artists don't end up on the Saturday list, and so forth.

Non-selectees from Friday who also signed up for Saturday are randomized for the Saturday winners list, and then Friday winners are randomized and then appended (fed into random.org's list randomizer). For Sunday, anyone who was not selected both Friday AND Saturday and signed up for Sunday is randomized for Sunday (no one met this criteria this year). Anyone who won one day Friday or Saturday is then randomized and appended to the winners list for Sunday. And finally, anyone who had a table both Friday and Saturday is randomized and appended to what's left of the Sunday winner's list. I will post the relevant lists later this week, so that the process can be repeated by interested parties, and my work can be checked. We shall attempt to remedy any mistakes individually, but we will NOT be running the lottery a second time. These results are final. You can read more about the selection process here.

There are 186 entries (was 193, but there were duplicates that have been removed).

Interesting statistics as of 5/28/2012 23:09 MDT (note: these changed slightly, as a small handful of artists adjusted their day-selection during the review period; new statistics will be posted later this week).
