Court length was (RE: [Ansteorra] Sound Systems in Court (was Just a Question))

[Carl Chipman]

This is probably an unpopular suggestion, but how about removing the
role autocrats play in court?  Is it absolutely necessary for court time
to be taken up to bring up every person who won every competition?  I
know that while I personally love it when I get called up (who doesn't?
:) ) but at even medium size events, if you have 8 activities, and call
up each person and spend around 5 minutes with them in court (not
unusual) it could easily use up a whole hour of time.  I think venues
like the Ansteorran mailing list or word-of-mouth are more useful ways
to disseminate the information.  AS a matter of fact, I miss the fact
that people do post event reports like they used to when I first started
reading the Ansteorran list.

And before the boiling oil is warmed up, yes I've been an autocrat, and
I've taken too much time in court.  Afterwards, I felt guilty.
