A plea for civility at Los Angeles Kickoff

Perhaps if you don't tell teams where the line starts until the broadcast is done ...

They called teams up by team numbers and did not start until after the broadcast. So there was no chaos.

Newark (NJ) is approximately the same thing. Teams are given numbers (they line up) after kickoff ends, and let into the room one at a time by number. No chaos, no errors.

They call us up by lowest team numbers to highest.

I completely understand why teams are in such rush to get the KOP. But have someone make clear to all teams must stay till the end of broadcast. Extra 10-30mins isn't going to do them any good...

At the local kickoff here in Maryland, NASA-GSFC runs a tight...(rocket)ship. Teams line up in the hall in numerical order. At least one adult and 2 students or adults. I believe one year we did reverse numerical order.

But the good thing about the senority line up is the rookies get an opportunity to talk with each other. Entire process for about 40 teams takes no more than an hour.

Time to go....to kickoff!
