How did I do, Take 2
 

I am reposting this because the previous version was a "Public Poll." I hadn't even noticed that a "public Poll" was in fact the ability to tell who voted for what. (I had thought that it meant "anyone could answer.") So I ask that anyone that has voted on the other one, if you have a moment, please revote on this one. I'd appreciate it.

and now, for the orig. post:


I'm in the running for Game Announcer at VCU next year. (The Play-by-Play guy).

I have been practicing Announcing the games this year, both at VCU and Nationals Archimedes Field on Practice day, Thursday.

I was wondering how you guys thought I did, and perhaps some suggestions.
(Constructive, please).

To clarify, I'm Matthew... I was the only Announcer at VCU on practice day and I was the first Announcer on the Archimedes Field on Practice Day. Andrew joined me late in the day on Thursday and you heard from him a few times on the other days, but he was really field supervisor on Archimedes.

If you're still not sure which one I am, please ask.

Re: How did I do, Take 2
 

If you want to do more and get involve with FIRST and do play by play at regionals, try doing some off-season competitions around you. It good practice and a lot of FIRST personal are around. I heard you did great on the practice day.

Thats how I got my start for MCing. I MC ed PARC and Duel last year and I will be MCing at Monty Madness and trying to make room for PARC again for this year.

Just some advice.

Foe those who don't know Matt...he's been involved with first for a long time...first as a student and later as a mentor. He did great at VCU this year.
I was mainly in the pits at Nationals so I did'nt get to hear him much.

Matt you might also think of MCing with Jeff at Capitol Clash this year....
(he was a ref last year there).
