Plan to arrive at the party a little early to enjoy a drink before the party begins. When you check in, your name will be on the VIP list. You will get a sticker with your number on it and a matchcard that has the numbers for the people you will be dating. You will use the matchcard to circle "yes" or "no" next to the people you date.

You will spend between 3-8 minutes with each date. Then you will rotate in a round robin style. For example, if you start on number 6, you will go to number 7, and so on. There will be an approximately 15 minute intermission for drinks and/or to use the restroom.

The idea is for everyone to date each other. However the size of the event and time ultimately determine that.

After the party has ended, dateanddash will collect the matchcards and match all the cards together to determine matches. A match is if you circled "yes" to them and they circled “yes” to you. Then, within 72 hours, they will email everyone with their matches and preferred contact information. The contact information will only be given to matches.
