Britta, I find that I must disagree with you on at least this
specific.

Crown Tourneys (and Coronations) generally attract some of the
finer merchants in the Kingdom.

Most Crown Tourneys I have attended have deliberately 
scheduled additional activities to overcome just what 
you have noted. (A great deal of variation does exist,
and much can be associated with the relative experience 
of the local group's membership & willingness of others 
to ad lib sideshow attractions...)

At the risk of being roundly thrashed from several quarters,
I'd like to seriously suggest that at least some of the events 
that have been separate from Crown Tourney be reconsidered
for inclusion in that weekend. 

Possibilities / Random Suggestions:
Shoot for Royal Siege Engineer on Sunday morning, perhaps? 
Target archery throughout (a "true" Royal Round)?
"Formal" Page School (7-12 year olds)?
King's Champion tournament on Sunday morning?
Non-officeholder classes on advanced topics in the A&S arena?
