Re: How do I help my area move to districts?

I have to ask, how many volunteers see teams only when they are smiling?

As an inspector and ref (and a CSA, but I am unsure if the intended audience of the document would be eligible for that position) I have had to tell teams things that were at the very least disappointing. Things like "You received a foul because your robot extended too high in that match" or "Your bumpers do not meet the 8 inch requirement, you need to make them larger or build new ones". According to the document something needed to change after I made those statements because someone on the team frowned. I guess that means I screwed up and that puts my quest to be a LRI or Head Ref back one or two years of volunteering in a lower profile position. As important as the safety glasses table position is, to move someone there from inspecting will probably make them frown.

I know I am applying the document somewhat harshly, but for someone who has never been a volunteer, I would be scared to tell a team any bad news.
