I'm assuming nicknames are fine as long as they make sense?

I did have one alliance troll me on Saturday, and I did laugh...

Nicknames may be tolerated, as long as they are obvious and unambiguous. "Cheval" is. "Sally" is. "Port", no. (Portcullis, or Sallyport?) "PC", you're getting a funny look until I figure it out--so just call it "portcullis" and be done with it!

I was just assigned to be a DC this week, but I haven't found any information regarding this position? Can someone point me to a source please?

Since FIRST seems to be pushing costumes and themes this year, I think a DC should dress up as Rob Ryan.

Training materials will be out this week. They just weren't ready for Week 0.5. Lucky me! (Alex from FIRST had me up to speed on their system in a few minutes; the bigger challenge was dealing with some bugs and then the people. They're fixing the former in Manchester, I'm fixing the latter here!)

I'm a reasonably astute person, and I would not catch this one without you pointing. Make it easy on the little old lady that will be assigned to your event, call it the portcullis.
