Ironically enough, the sound in JUST our division was crazy loud on Thursday & Friday at Champs. I mentioned something to one of the Refs saturday morning, and she was able to get them to turn it down some, so that it wasnt deafening anymore. One of our mentors walked over to the other divisions and said all of them sounded fine, ours was just too loud (especially the buzzer & noises)

I dont think this is a problem at every regional... FLR was fine, Philly was horrible... we asked several people to turn it down on Friday (opening ceremonies), but we were told that they wouldnt do anything until after opening ceremonies were over. We all sat there with fingers in our ears until a nice volunteer finally brought us earplugs.

And Elgin, the reason our safety kids prolly didnt say anything at Philly is because most of them werent in the stands for very much of it! And to be honest, they probably didnt think the safety inspectors could do anything about it if the field manager couldnt.
