Re: FIRST Fails To Address Chaos During Morning Entry at Champs

It's entirely possible they have plans in place for additional measures to make things more orderly, and simply didn't include them in the A-Z guide.

While the guide is great and contains a lot of good information, I don't think it covers anything near 100% of the information you accumulate in just the first day of being at champs and figuring out how things work.

I can tell you one thing - half of all teams don't read e-mails pertaining to the events their attending, and even less check websites for information about those events. I know we get hammered with questions from team leaders leading up to every regional, when the information they're asking for was included in an e-mail blast and is on our local website.
This isn't a team whining about a rule, or an inspection issue. He has reasonable and valid complaints about safety.

This is a big enough issue that a "wait and see" approach is not appropriate.
