In my experience (mainly in Atlantia), about half of the feasts use
designated servers and half use "someone from each table."  I've acted as a
server both ways.

At 12th Night, 1996, they called for servers from each table - but rather
than just "someone," the call was for specific persons - the one with the
biggest knife at each table, the one with the longest belt, the one with
the largest medallion, &c. 8)
