And further below you even go down more:

First, we need to define a minimum amount for bronce. I dont think you want to
imply that someone sponsoring 5 euros is a bronce sponsor.
I suggest the following categories:
500- 1000 sponsor 500e span
1000- 2500 bronce 1500e span
2500- 7500 silver 5000e span
7500-20000 gold 15000e span
20000+ platinium
I'm still pondering whether this is too little (!) for silver and above.
Basicially we don't give much initiative to sponsor more than 20001 Euros...
So another scheme would be: 500-2000, 2000-5000, 5000-10000, 10000-25000,
25000+ - I think I like this one better.
Also, we should probably analyse this years sponsored amount. Did we have a
lot of sponsors who barely reached their category (which would indicate that
sponsors look for this) or are the amounts more distributed (which would
indicate that companies have a fixed amount they can sponsor). (But when
analysing this we have to keep in mind, that the sample is small and this was
a first time..)
And we should also define, which sponsors categories get included in the
sponsor loop, switched/PiPed into the stream. This year this was done quite
arbituary and ad-hoc. I would suggest only silver and above.

Holger
