During workshops, hackathons, or training sessions, the order in which teams present their results can significantly impact their energy and the audience's attention. Being first or last has its own unique pressures. Minfair's Draw Room ensures that the presentation timetable is determined fairly and transparently, giving every team an equal chance.
Common Workshop Logistics Hurdles
- Teams feeling they didn't have enough "prep time" if they're picked first.
- Audience fatigue setting in by the time the final team presents.
- Allegations of favoritism when the facilitator chooses the order.
- Needing a clear, publicly accessible schedule that everyone trusts.
The "Presentation Sequence" Solution
By using the "Random Ordering" feature, you can input the names of all participating teams. This generates a numbered sequence that becomes the official timetable for the session, removing any bias from the process.
How to Set Up
- Enter Team Names: List all groups participating in the workshop.
- Choose "Random Ordering": This will rank the teams from 1 to N.
- Schedule the Live Reveal: Set a countdown for the announcement during the workshop's mid-break.
- Share the Master Link: Project the results on the main screen so all teams can see their slot.
