*put on team mentor hat, take off VEXpro hat*
The Manual has covered this circumstance for awhile,
Quote:
4.9.2 Pit Manners/Rules during the Ceremonies
Team members will not be allowed to use power tools, hammers or other noisy tools during the ceremonies
All persons in the Pit should observe the code of behavior for the presentation of all national anthems:
Maintain a respectful silence;
Stand, facing the flag. If there is no flag, look toward the video screen showing a flag; and
ALL hats off please.
4.10 PIT CLOSING ETIQUITTE

The problem here is various regionals having volunteers and regional directors decide to ignore the manual and enforce what they like, much of the time the volunteer being told to clear the pits is not even aware the above quoted rule exists, and are blindly following someone above them.

Then these volunteers should consider this before applying to said role, or check with the coordinator if they are needed during these times.
I've been meaning to submit this consistency problem to a Frank answers Friday sometime, teams having alotted robot access time randomly removed isn't the greatest experience.
