Gosh I liked her too. I was smiling each time I walked by.

I saw huge improvements everywhere. The practice field folks were still very stressed. The volunteers there were polite and wonderful to be with, but you could tell they were harried. There's got to be a way to lower the stress for them.

Idea - have a projector with a scrolling marquee of the teams coming up and the time to the next practice match. Then they won't have to be so frustrated. No lines of teams getting ready. Come and show up a couple minutes prior to your match time, just like the competition field works. Just watch the screen. The only line necessary would be the filler line, and once the timer is up you can't rush up and get onto the field even if you were scheduled to be there.

I was a practice field volunteer on the Newton/Galileo fields, the easiest way to make the stress level lower,
is for teams to show up on time (10minutes before the match) like explained.
The second way is to have more volunteers.
also the projector idea is not bad but because it is a practice field, we do not have enough room for a projector, we barley had enough room for a filler line.

So I want every team to know, the Newton/Galileo Practice Field was on time every day during the competition and if there was a team that missed its 10minute deadline they were allowed to jump in the filler line, but they would not be able to get in on that match because we had already filled their spots.

This is why when you sign up we tell you to be here 10minutes early, and we even had a sign saying to be there 10 minutes early.
