: This could be really bad because while you are waiting on deck on Einstein, you might not hear your team being called on deck on your division field. Good thing they didn't put me in charge of this stuff...
: But seriously...Hopefully there will be enough time between matches that this will not even be an issue.
: Best of luck

To All teams....
last year an incident occured in which my former team wasnt called on deck. We recieved only a "Final Call", and we didnt make it to the field in time....especially with multiple divisions/fields, and moving to am from different places, keep track of how quickly or slowly the matches are running yourselves. This will avoid you not playing a match and subsequently accepting a 0 for that round. The judges told us that it was our responsiblity to make sure that we were on time for our events, and not to rely on the PA system to tell us when we were supposed to be where.... Just letting all you know out there, so that this doesnt happen again this year...from experiance, i know that it can knock you from being a picking team to the pickee...
take care everyone, and have fun in Florida, this will be the first year in the last 5 that I havent been there, and i am certianly going to be missing it!! Good Luck!
