Re: 2005 Palmetto Regional

Not to get another storm brewing but did anyone else have a problem with the way they started the matches here? Usually the MC will say "red team are you ready? Blue team are you ready? 1-2-3 go". But at Palmetto - she would all of a sudden just "1-2-3 go" and we had 3 different matches where we kinda got caught unprepared (2 of them resulted in penalties and hence losses.)

I just wanted to point this out in the event anyone from FIRST notices this post, because I think it's important for the MC's to confirm whether the teams are ready or not. The Palmetto staff was very efficient, and the matches moved incredibly fast. Much faster than UCF, and it just seemed like we were usually lacking that last second of preparation.
