Subject: As a feis organizer, I can tell you that under normal circumstances, it is extremely difficult to abide by a schedule that has "start times" or even "not before times."
In reply to: 's message, "Start times" on 11:55:06 10/27/20 Tue

It also leads to a lot of stress for the volunteers who get chewed out when stages run long and it's well past the original start time. There's also the issue of the stages running ahead of schedule (yes, it does happen) and dancer's missing their first rotation because it's impractical to hold the stages when the venue is packed. The same people who chew the volunteers out for the stages running late are the ones who chew the volunteers out because their children missed their rotation (and ignore the syllabus that states to be ready to dance at least 1/2 hour before the estimated start time).

NE region consistently has start times for their feiseanna - not for every dance but for blocks (e.g., Novice starts at 10am then the order of dances within). It would be hard for people to adjust here but it is possible.

The complainers will happen no matter what - the NE moms always complained about the lack of times on the feiseanna outside the region.
