I just wanted to say
thank you to
Team 236 on behalf of Team 341.
We had a great time all day long. Speaking as an operator of an off-season event, I know the difficulties faced and the work that goes into planning an off-season event.
In reference to the scheduling delays, I would only offer two ideas.
1) Be tough on teams not ready to take the field. I think it helps prepare the rookies for the real season anyway. At Ramp Riot we move the match forward no matter what. Even if its our team or an old friend it does not matter. Sometimes my own team gets mad at me.
2) Have a back up plan to keep operating without the scoring or control systems. In 2001 we lost the entire field control. We switched over to dongles on the competition ports, red cards to represent the stop button, and power point for scoring. We just kept rolling with the matches and finished just 30 minutes behind.
But that being said we had a
blast at the BASH!!!
Your efforts are definitely noticed by many.
