<div><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">This is easy. Yes, the autocrat does not have to be knowledgeable about every activity going on at his/her event. That is why they recruit others to run activities. When you are asked to be an MiC or a marshal of an activity at an event, you must communicate your needs to the MiC and the autocrat. They don't have to know how to set up an archery range. We do. We must communicate what we need and ensure we get it. </FONT></div>
<div> </div>
<div>No classes. No paperwork. We have too much already. If you are a marshal, then you are the expert. Communicate with your autocrat early and often. </div>

assuming that there is a 'right' for archery to happen.
If an autocrat makes a decision that precludes archery, or that impacts
archery negatively. That was not an 'error' on their part.
It was their decision as autocrat to make.
In this 'neck' of the woods, (Where both Jerry and I are from), all
autocrats always work hand-in-hand closely with their marshals, and
people come to an agreement. If the autocrat doesn't feel a space
exists that will work with their otherwise event-concept for archery.
Then there's no archery.
In Service,
Siegfried
PS. If you want to make an 'autocrat' manual/class within your own
Baronies, go for it. Have at it. But I will not back the idea of
adding that load at a Kingdom Level.
