Re: Lessons Learned - The Negative
I have to second everything Jeff said above. As an inspector, it is so frustrating when we run across issues that should have been noticed at previous competitions. We don't want to fail anybody. Our job is to make sure everyone followed the rules correctly and to help teams succeed in doing so. But nobody is perfect and in the end, all of the inspectors are volunteers. If they were perfect, there wouldn't need to be a second inspection.
I can't stress enough how important it is that teams read the manual. Seeing teams fail inspection for simple things that could have been avoided is very frustrating. You spend at least $6,000 on the season. That just isn't worth risking.
