This is the best point made, I am a big exhibitor at CAX and at PaGG and CAX is a 4 hour drive one way for me and I usually bring 12-15 machines. Games stay till the hall closes on Sunday and the show closes. Ive been doing shows well over a decade and this is how it always is here on the West Coast. Sucks you got hosed like that but now you know and at least you didnt get charged for admission, I totally get those that had a long drive but it should be posted on the flyer that games leave early as well as exhibitors on sunday. I know we do that on our flyers here at these shows. I was even in Seattle last year and clear out started on sunday after the show closed. Sucks either way but it sounds like this is the norm for this show. Next year make sure you go early to see everything.

This is not the norm out here on the west coast, If the show is advertised for sunday the show is still full for the most part unless exceptions are made for certain people before the show starts saying certain games will leave early, and that is made very clear on the event flyers. So it might be a normal thing for midwest and east coast shows, but all the shows here on the west coast if advertised for a Sunday we keep the show pretty much fully running till end of the show. That being said Exhibitors and vendors may start getting ready to pack up and hour or so before show concludes but NEVER 5 or 6 hours before show ends.

Hold on a Minute I do California Extreme and I exhibit A LOT of games and it takes a long time to setup, The show is Saturday and Sunday but Setup Starts On Wed night and usually takes 2-3 days to be ready, when your dealing with setting up over 600 pins and vids we do not roll in on friday morning and set up and open Saturday. CAX for me starts wed morning and ends monday night.
