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.

Same with QCR, but we tend to discuss the big items as a group. But when I develop the event Handbook it is only myself and one or two others who review it before sending it out. The same for pit layouts, volunteer meal selection, etc.
