4) (this should be a 3a) Everyone is going to be getting 9 matches this year, instead of the normal 7 or so. That being said it will be everyone's responsibility to help make the event run smoothly. With 2 extra matches a team we will be under an even bigger time crunch to make sure that we aren't there until midnight. So before you leave your pit...do you have a charged battery, do you have your driver buttons, do you have your safety glasses? All the little things will add up to massive amounts of delays if we have to keep reminding everyone about it.

I'd like to expand on George's post.
These two things are very important. The field crew at Jersey has been top notch every year I've been there and everyone should work their hardest to help them out. Make sure you're paying attention to whats going on because there will be problems and the will be errors made and it helps to have everyone informed. Make sure that you have everything operating correctly on your machine so time isn't wasted chasing a "Field Fault" when it's really something to do with your robot (Everyone blames the field at first, I've been guilty of it once or thrice.).
Also, 9 Matches with 61 teams is truly a gift to those competing, and we should all remember this.
See you all on Friday, better bring your A Game...
