Each year SKBC travels to a new location. Unfortunately that makes it rather impossible for the SKBC staff to autocrat the event each year. So instead, we divide up the responsibilities. Each year we seek bids from around the country on where SKBC should be held. At Rakis FWACK will meet and go over all bids and make a final decision on all bids received. The site will primarly be chosen off the bids but factors such as distrance from the previous sites, benefit to Amtgard in that area, and ease of convincing instructors to go will also be factored in. Bids can be sent to Mikeyhog @ gmail . com.

What must be on the bid

Concrete site information (Site info must contain what is listed below)
General budget (It doesn't have to be that specific, that can come later)
Feast plans
Point of contact and any other support staff that will be involved.
A blurb on why SKBC should be hosted in your area.

Site Needs:

Space for 150 people to camp.
Open fighting space for 8 different classes with at least 2 of the spaces being large enough to hold team fighting classes.
Running Water
Electricity
Lit Ditch Field enough for 100 fighters on the field at one time.
Some sort of covered area (pavilion, barn, etc) for nighttime lecture classes
If there are no cabins on site, hotels must be nearby for those instructors that travel from out of kingdom.

Local Site Autocrat Responsibilities

In charge of the entire budget. This includes giving us an idea on the costs 4 months ahead of time and setting a gate fee that will not lose the event money. Sir Cedric will aid the local autocrat if there are any questions about the budget.
Obtaining the site. This needs to happen 6 months prior to the event.
Providing 4 feasts. This includes lunch/dinner on Friday and lunch/dinner on Saturday. The food doesn't have to be anything special but instead just good wholesome food. Often times the autocrat himself will not take care of all of these feasts but instead will delegate to various companies/households in the region.
Gate guard. The local autocrat will be responsible for providing gate crews and collecting all monies for the event.
Help with request for instructors. Since the instructors are flying from off site, the local autocrat will aid the instructors in obtaining whatever teaching materials they might need.
If insurance is needed, the local site autocrat will do the research on this.
Copies of the gate flyer and schedule. The original will be provided by the Head Autocrat but it will be up to the local autocrat's job to make the copies for the event.

SKBC Staff Responsibilities - (Combination of FWACK, Head Autocrat, and Instructor Autocrat)

Invitation of all the instructors
Advertising including web site and mailing list spam.
Setting the general schedule of classes and making sure that the event runs on time.
Event security. If there is a problem with the breaking of mundane laws, the SKBC staff will handle that part of security along with the site autocrat.
FWACK will be financially responsible for the event. If monies are needed prior to the event to cover any costs, FWACK will be the ones to take care of this.
