From my perspective:
As an Inspection Manager, I loved not having a sizing box to deal with this year. Frame perimeters rock!
I worked with a great team of RI Volunteers at Championship this year: my first MVP was Rob H. from Rochester, NY (Regional LRI) for his trouble shooting and problem solving skills. Matt S. from Sacramento, CA (Regional LRI) was my second MVP for his field communication skills. Big Al receiving Volunteer of the Year was awesome!
Note: We are still seeing bumpers that are not constructed per the rules and/or are not secured properly as my Championship Field RI witnessed several of them falling off during various matches. The Field RI sent me the pictures and notes by text message back to the Inspection Station to ensure the issues were fixed before the next match. Even with the time delay in receiving the text message, this worked out great.
I remember a Volunteer reserved section to watch Einstein when we were still in the Georgia Dome. This time, there was some confusion with the EJD arena staff about the reserved seating in sections 126, 127, and 128 and at what time and which people were allowed to sit in them. there was a huge pile-up on the landing with all the tape still up around the seats. However, all was good in the end. We had a great view. BTW, I usually do not have time to watch any matches until the very end: Einstein was my first time this season watching students feed the game pieces into the robot and shoot them all the way across the field into the goal!
