The robots and the teams are the stars of each event. Let them shine the brightest.
Here are a few suggestions (Frank and team, I am sure you look for feedback from CD too!):
1. Instil transparency: Transparency will help the overall experience when tough calls are made. Imagine NFL refs do not announce what the penalties were. Yes, it costs a few seconds; but it informs the crowd and at the same time, hold the tournament organizer accountable. Mistakes do happen. Both organizers and teams are human. This teaches the kids accountability.
2. Recognize well run events that put the students/teams first: How about some free corndogs for the organizing committees?
3. Awesome idea to bring the Cowboys mascot into Dallas Regional. Maybe we need to invite Carlton (Toronto Maple Leafs mascot) for a visit when we play in the former Maple Leafs Garden next week at GTRC.
Can't wait for our first event next week. Go #610.

Hey Billylo,
Thank you for your input. I was the Game Announcer at Dallas (also Bayou and will be working Champs as well). I made it a point to announce the foul and explain the G-rule penalty for each and every foul all weekend during the Dallas and Bayou Regionals. Yes, there were certainly some controversial calls made at Dallas (which have been discussed at-length on other forums), however, as G.A., I did my very best to inform the audience (and the teams) which fouls were being called as well as give a brief description of the G-rule violation.
