Featured 4/26/2026,Frag Swap member feedback

[MichaelB]

Thanks everyone that volunteered and made the swap possible. It was great seeing everyone that came out.

I'm just seeking some general feedback on the swap as a whole. Rather positive, negative, or suggestions for future swaps.

If you prefer to stay incognito feel free to message me and I could post your feedback for you.

I would urge people to keep things general this isn't a place to bash or single anyone out.

The goal here is to hear the thoughts from those that attended.

General:
What did we do right?
What could we do better?
Was there adquate notice given of the swap date?


Location:
Parking? (If we get this place again we will look into prepaid Parking passes)
Layout?
For those that brought kids or family what where there general thoughts?
Food? (Just don't ask for steak and lobster)
Raffle?
General start and end time of the swap?

Swap related:
Ultra/ Bonus Rounds/ regular picking rounds ?
Time allowed for each round?
Coral variety?
Section of Ultra/bonus coral?
Coral picking area layout?


*Keep in mind sharing your ideas, or feedback won't mean that things are going to change specifically because you mentioned something.

I plan to take all the feedback and ideas into consideration along with the rest of the Bod to see what's practical that we can do/adjust to improve our future memeber only frag swaps.

Lastly the above questions are only a guide and your not expected to answer all of them or stick to the script. I plan to feature this for a few days to give members a chance to respond.

Thanks, Michael

I admit I never found the parking kiosk myself. I was only told there was one.

I ended up using the QR code that was posted on the doors.

Overall this swap went well I thought.
I thought venue was spacious enough and tables well laid out.
Good space for freebies and DBTC.

My only two suggestions -
1) Signs -it was not so evident where it was-if I had not followed another car and then person-it may be been a bit more challenging to find that specific spot.
2) Time-overall time allotted is fine for each round-but for those with #5 that get to choose two but they only get the same amount of time as numbers 1-4# as they are going up and down. I think that they should get some extra time.

My two cents.

Fair consideration on the time group 5 is allowed.

Will also put more thoughts into signage.
