2) A method of ensuring relative equity in singarounds has been tried at Whitby in the past. A volunteer at the door gives out raffle or cloakroom tickets to all entrants who wish to sing. The MC then calls the numbers in strict rotation.

From what I have seen at festivals, the best way to not only ensure you get to sing and often ensure that you are the only one who does, is not to attend singarounds or events set up for singing at all, but to insist on being the one to inflict songs on those who are gathered quite happily to play at what are set up to be tune sessions.
