          -- the Primogen must pre-approve prizes provided by the clan bank (if more than 100k)
     -- any other important information (ex: kindred may not participate)

2. Do your research.
     -- if your event involves any research, include any necessary information

3. Get your event approved.
     -- send your outline to the Event Master for approval
          -- send outlines to the Primogen in absence of Event Master
     -- wait for approval before announcing the event

4. Plan ahead for assistance.
     -- if you need assistants, secure them ahead of time
     -- have alternates ready just in case assistants don't show up
     -- remind your assistants a short time before the event starts

5. Make arrangements ahead of time.
     -- if planning for a certain area, secure it ahead of time if possible
     -- if you must rent an area, be prepared to pay for it yourself
          -- Primogen must approve of this cost, to have it covered by clan
     -- if your event is planned for a locked area, make arrangements to have it opened

6. Have a backup host.
     -- be sure someone can fill in for you in case you cannot make it yourself
     -- give the backup host full details of the event to prepare him or her

7. Handle rejection calmly.
     -- if someone cannot help you, do not take it personally
     -- if someone cannot participate, do not take it personally

8. Be prompt and prepared.
     -- be early for your event and make sure assistants are, also
     -- make sure assistants have what they need and know what to do
     -- if your event is one with a deadline, be prompt in judging and awarding prizes

9. Submit event records.
     -- record your event (all details of what happened, regardless of what was planned)
          -- if your event did not take place at all, simply note that as your event record
     -- post event results on Clans & Subpaths (C&SP) board
          -- if kin-only event, post to clan board instead
     -- submit record of event to the Event Master and Star Recorder
          -- include: event name, summary, most recent posts #s on CE/C&SP/clan boards
          -- send records to the Primogen in absence of the Event Master
