Re: MC'ing for FRC
 

Each year Israel has 2 MC's, one in Hebrew and one in English. not quite sure who the English one is but he surely knows the job unlike the Israeli one. They usually just bring some kind of celebrity. This year it was a famous sport anchor. He learned the rules as the games went on.
We had a game that started at 70-13 for the red alliance due to a bug . He was shocked when the blue alliance won, with a score of 20 something to 10 something.
He blamed it on fouls.
There are more than a few volunteers who could be better.
Any way your post made me search for american MCs. They are great. and i am sure who ever they take to the finals will know what he is doing.

And Shaniqua too. :)

Re: MC'ing for FRC
 

Actually, the sports anchor is the only MC, the other person (Dan Green) is the announcer. There's one in every event.
And yes, someone should replace the MC, and quickly.

Re: MC'ing for FRC
 

As mentioned, the english speaking game announcer (not MC) is Dan Green. One of the best two or three game announcers there is in FRC.

There are a few other female MCs out there, as well.

I just stumbled on this while looking up the volunteer info for champs:

Outlines the requirements & qualifications for being an MC.

Before you jump into a full regional, it also helps to have some on-field experience in a slightly less stressful and demanding environment. If your team travels to off-season events, you can ask to shadow that MC.

OMG you guys are awesome I love FIRST and CHEIF DELPHI. I know I have 3 more years till graduate highschool but My senior year I will voluenteer so I can be the Next MCEE marcus

Re: MC'ing for FRC
 

I suggest starting small by getting practice as an MC for FTC , VEX events or off-season FIRST events.

Start contacting organizers now and you will have a higher chance of eventually moving up the ranks to announcing for FRC.

Re: MC'ing for FRC
 

Thank you everyone for helping me realize my dream and something I can one day check off my bucket list. I have decided to go to a VEX competition and volunteer there as an MC. Then this year I'm going to mentor an FLL team so I'll go to another competition near Waco and MC their. Also I'll try to MC for a FTC competition might be hard cause im going to be on next years team. What do you guys think. Any Offseason that need an MC in training?
