Re: The glasses table, volunteers, and event staff
Our team actually got shut out for showing up too late for the practice field at one point. It was our own fault (we showed up on-time, after a student asked a volunteer at the field if things were on schedule, and was supposedly told no, but it wasn't the coordinator table), but it is still frustrating, and it seemed like it was pretty common.

It made me wonder though, why not sign up the time slots for 5 minutes earlier than they start, and tell teams to get there 5 minutes early on top of that? (essentially always be running behind 5 minutes), sign up the time-slots every 10 minutes, as they are now, but the time on your card is 5 minutes before match-start.

Just seems like it would improve things for everyone.
