Space assignment process

Booth space is currently being assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Golf Industry Show management will contact you within five to seven business days of receiving your contract to go through the booth selection process with you.

Priority points

Priority points can be earned in the following way:

One and one-half (1.5) points for every $250 spent with GCSAA or NGCOA in eligible programs and services.

Priority points for 2011 will be based on total dollars accumulated from March 1, 2009, to Feb. 28, 2010.

Assignment of points

Exhibitor priority points will be assigned to the company that earns them.

Priority points as an asset

Exhibitor priority points are considered an asset of the company and as such are purchased along with the company. If GCSAA and NGCOA are provided written documentation by a parent company showing ownership of another company with priority points, the company's points can be transferred to the parent company.

Choice of exhibit space

Exhibitor priority points may be accumulated for placement on the priority list. The resultant choice of exhibit space is based on the following:

• The parent company will contract for space and pay for it with its check.

• The parent company will determine how its exhibit is listed in association publications. Only one Golf Industry Show directory listing is permitted per exhibit.

• The overall length of the booth configuration must not exceed 50%, or a 2-to-1 ratio, of the overall width of the booth on main aisle frontage.

• An exhibitor may choose only one booth space per contract submitted. A booth space is defined as a single 10’ x 10’ or any combination of adjacent 10’ x 10’ spaces, resulting in the creation of one contiguous space (given one booth number) unbroken by an aisle. An exhibitor may contract for more than one booth space, but must complete and submit a space contract and deposit for each desired booth space. Only one booth space may be chosen using priority points. Subsequent booth space will be chosen on a first-come, first-served basis.

• An exhibitor may not bridge an aisle, whether by a physical structure, carpeting, banners, etc., in order to connect its booth space with one across the aisle.

Space assignment

• If more than one company holds the same number of priority points, the date the contract is received will determine which company shall have the first choice of booth space selection.

• Requests for space after the priority point cutoff date will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis regardless of priority points.

• No exhibitor can lose space assigned in accordance with this procedure.

• Space will be assigned on the written facts available to GCSAA and NGCOA on the cutoff date.

• GCSAA and NGCOA will make every effort to accommodate exhibitor requirements. Any and all requests will be considered. However, it is our intent to accommodate exhibitors in a manner that will enable each to exhibit its products under the most favorable conditions. All final decisions in dispute rest with the Golf Industry Show Management team.

Reduction of priority points

Any industry client that does not exhibit will lose priority points based on the following formula:

Number of years not exhibiting	Reduction in priority points
3 years 4 years 5 years 6 years 7 years 8 years	10% of total points 20% of remaining points 40% of remaining points 60% of remaining points 80% of remaining points 100% of remaining points
