Quick answer
What this page settles
Treat the schedule as an operating sequence, not a list of audience-facing start times. Use this page to create a staff celebration that keeps awards, meal and entertainment in rhythm. The working record is award order, recipient status, redraw rule and act durations; the main failure to prevent is award walks, redraws and extra speeches pushing the venue cutoff.
