I think pairs would be better this year. Last year was the chain. Need to change it up a bit

This is my first year to participate, but my vote is for the chain. If you do a straight trade, there’s a natural social pressure to match the quality of whoever you trade with and different styles and skill levels may or may not match up well.

@kicktheotter If you need something to display glandes in I recommend these, these are what I use for my two and they work great: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01N8SUUDH?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title

I remember you posting about them before and I did get some actually but I used them for my insect collection. I have a number of insects in resin and they do work great for that. I might well get some more for the glandes but I'm also running out of space to display things...

I just happen to have the ideal hat to accommodate everyone's names.  I am honored to draw the names.

My vote is for pairs. 

Here is our list - if I missed someone, my apologies and please bring it to my attention:

Blue Raja - CO, USA
KicktheOtter - Finland
VetRyan - ME, USA
Mersa - Australia
Curious Ardvark - Midlands, UK
Hubert - Oschersleban, DE
Willem208 - South Africa
Joe_meadmake - PA, USA
Walter (none stated)
Tint - Hong Kong
Lobohunter - OR, USA
Frondeur - France
Drakolith - USA
NooneOfConsequence - TX, USA
DavidtheSlinger - USA
Timothy Potter, ID, USA
Woodssj (none stated)
JudoP - Midlands, UK
Sarosh (none stated)
Shale - Canada
Slingingrat - MD, USA
Dan -  WA, USA
Loki - CA, USA
Samuel - Leon, Spain
Dirty Duck - WA, USA
Christian (Funditor), Austria

I count 26 slingers - so pairs will work if that is the consensus.

I think pairs for when even numbers, and chain when it's odd. So depends on the year, when will the drawing take place?

I like the pairs idea too.  I definitely see the point that NooneOfConsequence brought up.  But I don't have the impression that anyone in this group will be upset with any sling they receive.

One final check - have I missed anyone?

Blue Raja - CO, USA
KicktheOtter - Finland
VetRyan - ME, USA
Mersa - Australia
Curious Ardvark - Midlands, UK
Hubert - Oschersleban, DE
Willem208 - South Africa
Joe_meadmake - PA, USA
Walter (none stated)
Tint - Hong Kong
Lobohunter - OR, USA
Frondeur - France
Drakolith - USA
NooneOfConsequence - TX, USA
DavidtheSlinger - USA
Timothy Potter, ID, USA
Woodssj (none stated)

Sarosh (none stated)
Shale - Canada
Slingingrat - MD, USA
Dan -  WA, USA
Loki - CA, USA
Samuel - Leon, Spain
Dirty Duck - WA, USA

Unless someone wants to suggest another method, I plan on an old school approach.  I will prepare individual name slips and put them in a paper bag, shake them up and draw them out one at a time, making pairs as I go.

I’m not really worried about it with this group... my family’s not involved Grin
