Re: If you were a volunteer...
So far I've done MC/play by play...and let me tell you the loss of voice is well worth it. You're pretty much in charge of making sure that the crowd is into it and the competition is entertaining. If you're dull or act uninterested then the crowd loses it. Plus you are right up next to the action and get to interact with all the volunteers and students.
By far the most entertaining job, but also one of the most difficult. You have 6 robots to keep track of and have to convey their actions in an exciting and varied manner, if you're too repetitive (like in PARC my first play by play job I kept saying meanwhile) the crowd loses interest.
So far I've done NJ last year and this year, NYC last year (and possibly this year) and this year I'll also be doing Philly!
So come by and talk with me, I'd love to learn your story and some information on all the teams so I can make the color commentary as exciting as possible.
