I am not sure this is the place for it but since it was already brought up....
I think that a fair rotation is to leave people in the order their slip was put in.
"what about the latecomer?"
He'll learn to come earlier if he wants to sing. With anything else, timing is everything. If I show up for 9:00 show at 9:00 I do that so I know can I get in at least one song. Why would you punish the loyal guy who is there with some food and drinks in front of him for some guy who walks in the door 20 mins before you finish?
When you are playing pool or a video game in the same bar, do you have to stop playing when someone new comes in? People play in the order they came.
This is why I like a list over slips. When you get up to sing, you write your name on the list for another song. The rotation is out there for everyone to see and the KJ just works down the list. No one moves up and no one complains. Here is the order for everyone to see.
