Downtime at Competition?

[Ian Curtis]

Downtime, what downtime? There's always something to do. Scouting is always a good way to keep people busy (if you are on strategy and want to deprive yourself off a good nights sleep simply have round scouting and team scouting on every team. Not only does it keep 6+ people busy for a reasonable amount of time, it also keeps you awake all night and you still find yourself rushing to formulate a list of alliance partners when you end up in eigth place.)

This may seem like an obvious one, but go and sit in the stands and watch matches. Some of the most exciting things take place on accident during qualification matches.

Go talk to people. Introduce yourself to various people who you know who they are. I know I'd be pretty happy if someone walked up to me when I was wandering around and said "Hi, I'm Bob from CD."
