Re: FIRST Championship: Arriving & Volunteering

I have a couple of questions to those who are familiar with the event -

1. I would like to volunteer but after seeing the list of jobs I still have no idea what should I choose. I'm looking for a job that involves contact with people but also the freedom to get a real feeling with the event, and of course as I'm too familiar with FIRST it would be good to do something that needs that qualficiation.

2. When would you suggest to arrive in St. Louis? I'm planning Tuesday April 21st but I don't know at what part of the day (morning/noon/evening)

I shortlisted the list of jobs to those I found interesting:
  • Awards Assistant
  • Crowd Control
  • Field Repair/Reset
  • Field Supervisor
  • Head Referee
  • Inspection Manager
  • Judge Assistant
  • Judge
  • Master of Ceremonies Assistant
  • Pit Administration Lead
  • Pit Administration Support
  • Pit Announcer
  • Practice Field Attendant
  • Registration System Attendant
  • Registration System Supervisor
  • VIP/Media Check-in Table
  • Volunteer Registration/Information Table

thanks a lot for helping!
Interesting, Inspector is not on your list. It's a job you can usually get with easily obtained training (Inspect at your local regional) and is always in demand (esp with the larger event). And it gets you talking to teams from around the world.
