I may be opening a door I shouldn't but...
As one of the head queuers at nationals I am looking for a little feedback from the teams. I am interested because I am already planning to volunteer next year in the same role (see the effect you all had on me ). I will try to compile the useful feedback I receive and get together with FIRST to hopefully make things better for next year. Please let me know of concerns/problems you had such as the timing of the announcements for matches, the line at the fields, the path in/out of the arena... Positive feedback, if any, would also be appreciated. For those of you wondering, I was the guy at the entrance to the arena checking in teams on the Archimedes and Curie fields. Thanks in advance for your constructive feedback.

I actually stated elsewhere in a thread that I think the queuing was great. I commend the organization and smooth operation of the whole process. After seeing some problems in the regionals with that process, I was happy to see that it was much improved for nationals. All the queuers (that we interacted with) knew exactly where the teams needed to be and when. There was never any confusion on our part so we're greatful for that.
I can't give any negative feedback, so whatever you guys did to make it run so smooth, do it again next year!
Oh, one thing I can think of, there were only a couple times where it seemed like teams were backed up for matches at the field, like they were called too early. So that may have been a little inconsistent, but for the most part, everything was timed quite well...
Thanks!
