Re: First year volunteering

Make sure your instructions are heard clearly. there were teams at Alamo saying they couldn't hear the Pit Adman and missed matches because of it (it was not because of Pit Adman. I heard them clearly on the filed call for the teams. The pit setup may have been the problem). Make sure your radio is fully charged and make sure and know what channel the Key Volunteers are located (FTA, Field Supervisor, Lead Que, Volunteer Co-ordinator, Lead Showready Person ect.)so questions can be answered properly. Stay on channel 5 to stay in contact with team que unless otherwise needed. Your main job is to get teams to the field. Know what match is happening. You shouldn't have to tell teams to come to the field, they have a schedule, unless the event is behind schedule. Calling teams to the field teaches them bad habit that won't prepare them for the championships because they cannot be called to the field with four divisions present. It would be chaos! announce which match it is but you shouldn't have to call teams out.
