Re: Opinions matter.

The best MCs and announcers are those that have a clue about the game and the terminology. Watching a webcast of a regional and hearing the announcer calling the "Hot Goal" a powerball, or calling the "Truss" a trussing was very annoying. I finally got tired of it and went to a different web cast.
As mentors we teach the students to read the rules, understand the rules. I know the Emcees and Announcers are volunteers, but aren't they supposed to know the rules, and terminology that FIRST has put in the rules.
There area a lot of Good announcers and a lot of great announcers, the great ones are unbiased, very well educated on the game and the teams attending. They don't have to read a script, they know where a team is from and what they have done. The script is for reminders.
Great Emcees are those that have a lot of energy and pass it on to the crowd.

These are my opinions and do not reflect the opinions of any team or other individuals.
Have a Great Day and see you in St Louis.
