Hosted by the Barony of Calafia, in the Kingdom of Caid, at the Potrero Regional Park
Thursday May 22, 2008 - Monday May 26, 2008
The Barony of Calafia has instituted land allocation for Potrero War. The rules are as follows:
1. Land allocation is for groups of 10 or more and is NOT tied to pre-registration. There are, however, benefits for pre-registration.
2. To make the land allocation process work more smoothly, each group must designate one person to be the contact person for their group. That person MUST BE PRE-REGISTERED and be able to speak for the group. We will need their modern and SCA names, phone numbers and e-mail address. Use an e-mail address that will allow the land allocation staff to contact you. The contact person for your group must enroll the group in the land allocation process.
3. Just because you have pre-registered does not mean that you will automatically have land allocated for you. Once your group has enrolled in the land allocation process, individual members of the group may then sign up to stay with the group. This will automatically send an e-mail to the contact person, indicating your desire to stay with the group.
4. Land will be allocated to groups based solely on the number of campers who have signed up to stay with the group. If you have a large group, you will want as many people as possible in your group to participate in land allocation. If you have a group of 50 and only 10 sign up to stay with the group through Land allocation, you will receive only 2500 square feet. It will be a very tight squeeze. Also large group who participate in Land Allocation will get an additional 250 square feet for every 10 people who have PRE-REGISTERED. Do not sign up made-up names or your pets. We will find out.
5. Geo-political groups (i.e. Cantons, Shires, Baronies, Colleges and Royals) will get preferential treatment and an extra 900 square feet for infrastructure, such as dining halls and fire pits.
6. Make a first, second and third choice. Do not make all your choices the same. If you do not make a second or third choice, the default setting is A-1. This will appear on your list of choices. We will do our best to honor your choice. If you have a particular site that you want, use the comment section to describe the area in detail. Be very explicit. Do not assume that the Land Allocation staff remembers where you have camped in the past, or that they know where you want to be.
7. If you are camping in Stone's Throw, please DO NOT use the T1-T7 designation for your camp site. These numbers are for use by Potrero County Parks for reserving camping sites. We do NOT use these camp site designations. Use the map co-ordinates.
8. Land allocation will close May 10, 2008.
9. Reservation for land allocation will remain in effect until 6pm Friday evening. If no one from you group has arrived by then, your group loses its allocation. Those groups traveling more than 6 hours are invited to contact landallocation@potrerowar.org to discuss late arrival issues.
10. Negotiation with your neighbors is encouraged and any unallocated land is considered shared by however borders it. We ask that you please only take what you need. We ask that all groups be willing to work with their neighbors to come to reasonable, agreeable conclusion when land disputes arise.
11. Any groups found to be moving boundary markers or signs, adding new roads, cutting off access to the water supply or attempting to set up camp in an area reserved for another group will be removed from the site.
To reserve your camping area please refer to the map. The map will have a grid which is labeled with numbers and letters. Find your chosen camping site. Determine the coordinates, such as B-6 or A-11. Use this as the "address" that when you request space.
The following areas are off-limits to camping:
Each allocated area will be marked with a sign indicating group name, size of area and name of contact person. If you are camped in an area reserved for someone else, be prepared to move.
