My goodness! Judging from my stat counter, several folks have been particularly interested in Autocratting today. Welcome! I hope you find other topics of interest within these pages as well. Meanwhile, below are a few more things I’ve found to be useful when organizing an event.

Cultivate the Merchants
• Make every effort to attract merchants and support them. Merchants travel a lot. Happy merchants attract people to next year’s event!
• Set aside a place for merchants near a high-traffic area, such as the feast hall or the fighting field. If possible, assign someone in your group to help them set up and tear down.
Support the Heralds
• A poorly-heralded event is a disaster. Herald all areas – sleeping, fighting, merchants, hall, other activity areas – make sure no one is left out.
• Wake-up calls must take place every morning. If your guests are still asleep on Sunday morning, the fact that your site closes at noon means nothing.
• Keep your Site Herald informed of updates/changes in the schedule. Remember, events run on HST (Herald Standard Time). If your Herald doesn’t know about something, neither will the majority of your guests.
• Make sure your Site Herald has plenty of help. Your site may be large enough to need more than one Herald. If your Herald is getting tired or feels pressed for time, he may resort to “Drive-By Heralding,” which does no one any good.
• Seamas has more on Site Heraldry on his SCAdia site. Type www.scadia.org, or click on the link at right under "Recommended."
