Re: MC'ing for FRC
Many events tend to be looking for a MC trainee or backup.. I would recommend talking to your volunteer coordinator to see what their needs are.
Many MC's who take over a primary role tend to get their start by going to a first year regional; training under a veteran MC who is from somewhere else in the country that they brought in since there are no veteran people in this role (this is why you see Blair at many newer regionals) and then taking over the following year (this is what I did 8 seasons ago in Wisconsin).
It takes a few events as a trainee/back-up to get the flow down as there are many behind the scenes actions that are going on that you will need to know to give the event a great experience.
For Championships, I would have Marcus talk to Blair. To be honest, I know that MC positions do not open up as often as Game Announcer spots (more GA's are needed and the primary MC's have been doing championships for over a decade), but you never know.
Hope this helps,
- Tyler
