Event Best Practices

Prior To Event

1. Setup many CHIMs
   
2. Setup Tiplines
   
3. Flag/Test Comps/Discounts Active
   
4. Keep track of button placement (event log)
   

After Event

1. Delete/Unflag Comps/Discounts
   
2. Delete/Unflag Event-Specific-Buttons
   
3. Remove CHIM names from domain
   
4. Remove Tiplines
