Re: Early Uncrating Team

In Richmond, I was the volunteer in charge of running the early uncrate team entrance. We had little yellow coupons, 3 for each team with their team number on them. Each team had to check in with me before going into the Siegel Center to get their coupons. No one was allowed in until 8:30 unless they had a yellow coupon; we had 3 or 4 volunteers at the door collecting them, as well as VCU security people who were searching bags. The coupon idea was specific to this regional, so I don't know what other regionals it may happen at.

What most surprised me was that only 2 or 3 teams were there prior to 7:30. Most teams came around 8-8:15-ish, but there were still about 10 teams (out of 62) that did not show up before 8:30. I thought I would have have gotten swamped with teams coming early, but that was not the case.
