MidKnight Mayhem II - June 28, 2014

[PayneTrain]

Are there specific volunteering roles you are looking to fill, certain roles you are looking to train for, and are there any restrictions on high school student volunteers in key roles?

(I think I know the answers for some, I'm just looking for some official-ness)

Right now we're pretty good, but could use some extra queuers/crowd control/field reset. (We've also not yet included 1923 student volunteers on that roster.)

We're happy to train anything that people are interested in - as an example, last year we had 'backup refs' to learn the role, and plan on having two refs per tablet again this year. If a high schooler is interested in training for a key role we'll be happy to consider them!

Team 2607 is so excited to be attending! Also, we're amazed to be able to reunite with our VA elimination partners Team 384 for another event in the 2014 year. Can't wait to see you guys again!

Thanks for running this event 1923, it was a good time last year.

Thank you! We'll do our best to make it even better this year.

Wish we could go and work with 384 and 2607 again...but we have other plans for the off season. Plus were not a very big team and can only do so much.
Going to two regionals and CMP twice the past two years has come close to wiping us out. But we'll be back next year.

Will there be little puppies and dogs this year? They were my favorite part

I thought that poor dog was totally freaked out. I felt so bad for it.

We do plan on inviting the Attitudes in Reverse dogs (the ones in the lobby) back to the event. AIR is one of our favorite community groups to work with, and the dogs were a big hit.

DiscDogs were more of a special-thing because of the game - but there will certainly still be the therapy animal presence at MKM as long as everyone's schedule allows.

I might cry

I was looking forward to seeing SPARKY again. The event should still be amazing - one that I will be proud to call my final offseason event as a team member of 2607.

Agreed. Hopefully we'll see you again in VA.
