AD - Re: Dancing at Crown?  Russell Kinder russmax at Mon Apr 5
09:35:35 PDT 1999  Lady Yvette, et al.     This is the point
where I add my two pence about dancing at events. If dance is
going to happen at an event, it should be planned with the
autocrat well in advance. Space in the schedule and in the hall
needs to be alloted. Musicians need to be contacted, and dancers
made aware that there will be dancing.     A larger problem is
the inability of many groups to adhere to a schedule for an
event. The only people who care, really, are dancers. Why?
Because dancing is the activity that suffers when everything
else runs over time. If feast is scheduled for 6, but doesn't
happen until 7, then it lasts 2 hours. Then court takes 30
minutes to start after feast. Then court lasts 2 hours. Dance
doesn't get started until 11:30 or midnight.     At an event
like Crown Tourney, there's just not much the autocrat can do.
Maybe take steps to make the list run faster, like multiple
fields for the earlier rounds. Schedule
