Usually, channel separation has proven to be sufficient for us. I am currently subscribed to 21 channels, about half of these have had no posts since our competition season ended. Whenever we identify an event, whether a demo or an off-season competition, that needs a channel, we create it. The "tryouts" channel was created yesterday to talk about how we will perform tryouts this year - only mentors and veterans are invited. Some channels will be active every year, others will eventually be archived; we have not yet worked out where this line should be drawn.
