Addressing Chaos During Morning Entry at Champs

While the guide is great and contains a lot of good information, I don't think it covers anything near 100% of the information you accumulate in just the first day of being at champs and figuring out how things work.

I can tell you one thing - half of all teams don't read e-mails pertaining to the events their attending, and even less check websites for information about those events. I know we get hammered with questions from team leaders leading up to every regional, when the information they're asking for was included in an e-mail blast and is on our local website.

This isn't a team whining about a rule, or an inspection issue. He has reasonable and valid complaints about safety.

This is a big enough issue that a "wait and see" approach is not appropriate.
