Reception
The event has come! We start reception 10 minutes prior to the event's starting time. At reception, you will need to provide an ID (residence card only). After our staff confirms your name, you will then need to pay the entry fee.
Once finished, you will be issued a number plate (this also corresponds to your starting seat number) as well as a profile card. Please proceed to your seat, begin filling out your profile card, and wait for the event to start.
*Note: If you do not bring a pen, one will have to be purchased at reception. -
Conversation Time
The party has begun! The first part of the event is conversation time, where you'll have a short conversation with the woman in front you. At the start of conversation time, be sure to exchange your profile cards and be sure to take some notes.
When time is up, the host will make a brief announcement and then only the men will move onto the next number.
*Note 1: All participants are identified by number only so make sure to note of the numbers of the women you are interested in as that info will be important for later.
*Note 2: In the event there are more male participants than female, there will break periods between conversations. -
Coupling Cards & Announcements
The final part of the event is the coupling card. On this card, you will write your number and the numbers of the women you are most interested in becoming a couple with in order of preference. Afterwards, the staff will collect and tally the cards.
Once finished, the staff will announce the couples for the night. If the woman you are interested also voted for you, then your numbers will be announced as one of the couples.
