Re: CalGames seeking another game announcer!
Evan, thanks for volunteer in this. I suppose I should clarify how this is going to work.
Over the years CalGames has become an important event to the Bay Area teams and those of us planning are really serious about putting up a quality event. And you would agree when I say that the game announcer is key in making an event successful.
However! CalGames is also a community event, and as such, we try to involve the community every step of the way. We use it as a training ground for FIRST events, and if folks want to try out to be game announcer, referee, inspector, team queuing, field supervising, we are all for providing that opportunity.
So, here is how I think we will do it. With David as our main announcer, we will have interested folks try out in the morning during the qualifying rounds. If you are really good at this, we will keep you as the second announcer for the finals. Either way, it will be a good opportunity to try out for this job.
It will also be really helpful if you can tell us whether you have done this before.
Bare in mind we are hardly the robotics version of American Idol. We are not going to put you on the spot and judge you ;-).
