entertainment between matches

[Qbot2640]

Three loosely related thoughts:
(1) I'd really like to see a "best practices" kind of procedure written to minimize the non-field-reset delays in competition. I've asked the question about what causes these delays here, and got some very good responses (do not have teams connect to the FMS until the previous match is totally finalized, check and disable background programs like Spotify or CAD software running on teams' driver stations, etc.). It's time to gather those things into a single "recommendations document."

For THOR in October, I've heard two very original ideas:
(2) Run a team "Jenga Tournament" concurrently with the competition and
(3) For between match entertainment during reset, "Team Karaoke" right in front of the competition field.

At one competition a couple years ago, there was a mascot parade/conga line around the venue - stands, field, pits, everywhere. Nearly every mascot joined in, as well as various teams. It was definitely entertaining!

These happen at pretty much all PNWFRC events... there was a guy with bagpipes, wearing a kilt in the pits at DCMP in 2014, leading a wakeup parade, too. I think he was from 1294, but I'm not positive. that was the second best thing I've ever seen at an FRC event
