Additionally, I found it necessary produce a list of rules for the head mentor to follow while at competition. Some of the gems that earned exasperated sighs and eye rolls as he read the list include:
Have your cell phone turned ON, charged, and on YOU at all times.
Answer your phone when someone calls you.
Eat food during each meal and get at least 3 hours of sleep a night.
Try to be somewhat responsible and a role model.
Do NOT use duct tape at any time in any manner.
Do NOT obtain, fabricate, carry, or use any zombie defense weapons of any sort including projectile launchers/shooters, blunt objects, sharp objects, etc.
Do NOT get upset with your offspring.

He later tried to collaborate with other mentors to find loopholes to a number of the rules, particularly the one regarding zombie defense weapons.
LOL, those are fantastic, especially 2 of the last 3.

I was a first year mentor last year and by the end of Boston I was so tired I was crying when I got home. We actually don't get too many behavior issues either because the kids are so exhausted after the days of competition. But yes, sleep is a must for mentors too! As well as eating.
