Utherverse Events Calendar

Click the **Calendar** button on the Social Center button bar to open the **Utherverse Events Calendar** web page on a new tab. You may need to Allow Flash in your web browser to see this page.

The **Utherverse Events Calendar** is the main events listing. Unlike the in-world Directory, you can also create and manage events here. You have to be logged in to your account to see all the options on this web page.

## Calendar Pages

 **Manage events** | Here you can manage your events and see if their status.

Events that have passed today are still visible but shown as ENDED. The events currently occurring are shown first and are marked with "in progress" status. Other events that day are listed according to the next upcoming event that day. You can use the blinking right arrow to browse more upcoming events that day. If you want to see what else is upcoming for the next two weeks you can use the downward arrow to navigate to other days. It will only display a maximum of two weeks ahead of planned events. You will also see a few Featured events.

## Creating an event

To create and event you need to select what type of event it is. There are a few options to choose from:

* Personal Event
* Regular Event
* Wedding Event
* VWW of the Day Event
* Express Wedding Event

Once you made a selection of the event, you get a brief overview of the rules and requirements that apply for that type of event.  And agree with the terms and regulations before you can continue.

You then will be prompted to give specific details about your event by means of the following form:

It is important you fill in as much details as you can for your event to have more chances to be approved without additional information required by the events team. Making the poster has to be a square sized format in order to be displayed properly. Best is a 512x345 pixels sized poster as this will not distort at all within the calendar.

The next step you can fill a detailed description of the event you are holding and the page after you are charged the ® ray amount that it cost in order for your event to be displayed and created.

## Events Manager

Once you have created your event you can see it's status on the Event Manager website.

Your event can have one of the following statuses:

 Declined | This means that your event is declined and will not be featured in the events calender.

### Event Invitations

This is where you can view invitations you send out and received.

### Event Options

Here you can select your time zone in order for the event website to be displayed in your current time zone. This can be helpful to get a more accurate time.

## Regular Event

Regular events are visible to all members in the Events Calendar. If you’ve selected an adult-only audience or submitted your event through Red Light Center, your event will not show on non-adult calendars.

### Rules & Regulations

The Events Calendar is to be used for advertising special events only. Misuse of the calendar may result in your ability to use the
calendar being restricted or terminated.

Acceptable Submissions:

* **Special Event:** Your event must include something that sets it apart from a regular night at the venue. Include information on DJs, games, prizes, theme and anything else that makes this event unique and exciting.
* **Auction:** Must last less than three hours and include details about what is being offered for auction.
* **Combined Sales:** You may include a sales event with a regular party listing as long as the party meets the acceptable submissions criteria AND is the primary focus of the listing. If the party does not meet the events criteria or is not the primary focus of the listing, your event will be rejected.

* **Holiday Sales:** Sales for widely celebrated holidays like Black Friday, Boxing Day and other holidays must be clearly marked as sales for that holiday AND must fall on or near the date of the holiday.

Unacceptable submissions include:

* **Sales, giveaways, retail offers.**

* Exception: Combined with a special event that meets the ‘Acceptable Submissions’ criteria. The event should be the main focus, not the sale.
* Exception: Holiday sales on Black Friday, Boxing Day, Easter or 4th of July sale (must be marked as a special sale and occur on or near the time of that holiday).
* **Advertisement for a venue.** This includes recurring events that do not meet the ‘Acceptable Submissions’ criteria. If your recurring event only includes activities that would normally happen at that type of venue it will be rejected. This includes adult club events that only list things like lap dances, hiring WGs, stripping, etc. **SUBMITTING MULTIPLE EVENTS PER WEEK THAT ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL WILL BE CONSIDERED A DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO BEND THE RULES AND WILL RESULT IN YOUR EVENTS BEING REJECTED.**
* **List, calendar or schedule of other events** that do not have Events Calendar listings. If you would like to link to other calendar listings that is fine, but using one booking as a way to list all your other events for free is not acceptable. One event per listing.
* **Placeholders, empty or incomplete listings.** If you do not already have your event planned and confirmed with your hosts, venue, DJs, etc., do not create an event listing.

The standard wedding process can be started in the events calendar by choosing "Wedding Event" along with an application fee of 10 Rays.

Enter your Wedding into the calendar and fill all fields

**Things to keep in mind**

1. When submitting the wedding time, makes sure it’s in PST.
2. When choosing the venue, be sure to contact the venue licensee for approval to use the location. The licensee will need to approve the venue in the events calendar. All Utherverse public venues are free on a first-come first-served basis.

**Choosing and Requesting a JoP**

1. Please note that if the JoP of your choice is not available on your specified date, one will be assigned to you. English is the default language for JoP’s should one not be available in your requested language;
2. The JoP fee is a 150 Rays;

**Name Change / Contact**

Refrain from name changes during the Wedding process as we are unable to alter usernames. Note: If you change your name before the wedding the JoP will be unable to contact you, as he only has the original name on file.

It is in your responsibility to make sure you can be contacted, found and that you inform all in your Wedding involved of any potential change.

**Booking of venues**

You can book the venue by entering the venue at the Events Calendar to your Wedding Event.

## Express weddings

Express weddings are available for those who don’t need to plan a ceremony and reception. They are open to all members of Utherverse who have the ability to transfer rays. If you are unable to transfer the rays yourself then you must find someone who is able to before the ceremony can take place.

Express weddings include a regular wedding ceremony and the marriage certificate. The ceremony is same as for regularly scheduled wedding. You also have the option of providing your own vows should you choose to.

There is no difference between an express wedding and a regularly schedule wedding other the then ability to choose the date and time.

These are only available on weekends at the Wedding Garden - vww://utherverse.vww/WeddingGarden on Sundays from 2 pm - 4 pm PT. These are the only times currently available for Express Weddings and are subject to change. Please check this list before you go to the Chapel. Regular full Weddings have precedence over Express Weddings, therefore these times are also subject to cancellation.

To apply for an express wedding simply show up during one of the Express Wedding Times and create an Express Wedding event in the calendar.

Express weddings cost 100 Rays,  including an UV Certificate, third party certificates cost 50 rays.

In the case of a Double or Triple wedding, where more than one couple is getting married on the same day during the same ceremony, each couple is required to pay the 100 Rays by creating an Express Wedding in order to receive their official certificate and be registered as a Married couple in Utherverse.

Show the JoP your ray transfer copy and she will marry you on the spot.
