Saying those two lines would only take a few extra seconds, and it would do a lot for my sanity and stress level if my team ever lets me be drive coach again.  |
Actually saying the "Red team are you ready...." part does add on quite a bit of time, especially if we wait for acknowledgement from the alliance members (if we don't, then what is the point of saying it at all?), and when we are generally working on a very tight match rotation (this year was a little bit of an exception because the FTA's overestimated the amount of time needed for match rotations) we try to shave off every second we can.
The current way that Emcee's are directed to say it is:
(Wait for Green Light, look to see if FTA, Head Ref, teams, and Scorekeeper are ready)
Drivers behind the lines...
3, 2, 1, go!
...or some sort of similiar varient.
