The feast halls I've run tend to be controlled and have tables specifically
set for the feast.  Most Ansteorrans are courteous about making life easy
for the servers, although I have come across some irritating exceptions.
The best approach to the Ansteorran anarchy seems to be establish feast and
non-feast tables -- clearly marked and with a specific number of places --
and let the feasters sort out their tables.  

While I will control tables and the number of people at them, I am not about
to position people other than the high table.  If you don't know the
background, it is too easy to cause grevious indigestion by placing sworn
enemies at the same table.
