I can tell you that the MN RPC doesn't use voting for much. Everyone on the committee has a different area of focus - Volunteer Cordinator, head ref, LRI, GOFIRST, social media, judge advisor, etc. As a result, most decisions involve only a couple of people - for example, I don't have much input on how we handle judges or what we do for the VIP reception at the events, and I don't really want it. I give serious input in the areas I am focused on.
For something like this, those not involved with load-in probably won't have much of an opinion either way, while those responsible for load-in, volunteers, setting up the pits, ordering dinner for the volunteers, and working directly with the venue will have the strongest opinions and come to a decision after appropriate discussion.
