This will also help you appreciate/understand what the volunteers do for an event. This is something that will become increasingly important as more and more competitions keep sprouting up.
Especially with the eminent coming of districts. The biggest problem I see facing them is a shortage of volunteers if the locals drop the ball and just figure others will pick up the slack. All hands of deck! Everyone is needed to do their part!
