====Room Blocks====
If there's just one piece of advice you listen to here, it's this: '''Start small!''' Make sure you set up the block with an adequate number of rooms and that there's room for growth of the block (depending on hotel capacity and how many rooms they have available at the time). It's much better to start with too few rooms and have to add than it is to end up with too many. Depending on the hotel you've contracted with, you may end up paying for those extra rooms out of your own pocket.

The appropriate number of rooms to block varies by year, but you'll also want to take particular days into account. If you're planning to book out 100 rooms on the top days, you might want to do something like 25 Thursday, 100 Friday & Saturday, 75 Sunday. (These, of course, are not hard numbers, play with them based on your own needs and feedback.)
