All Referees are certified. The Head Referees, in the yellow soccer-ref shirts, get even more training to be certified as a head ref.

Don't forget:

> Steve Wozniak: Identifiable by his Nixie-Tube watch
> Bill Gates: Identifiable by characteristic hair doo and glasses (which haven't changed in years)
> Dean Kamen: ...Segway.

I love the championship. All these people came by our pit and visited in 2006! (And to think, I didn't even know who Steve was... )

The VIP/Media are good people to talk to. They normally don't have a uniform but will have a nametag with (obviously) their name and what group they represent. Chat them up! Sometimes they know FIRST, and sometimes they don't.

Also, don't forget.

Me: Some form of FIRST/Team shirt (usually). Name tag. Tiara. Big smile. LOUD voice.

Come say hi!

FIRST Senior Mentors: The FIRST Senior Mentors may be visiting FRC Regionals and other FIRST program competitions. Say Hi to us! We will most likely have a FIRST shirt on of some kind, and a white nametag in addition to our lanyard name badge.

VISTAs: Also may be found at FIRST events; the AmeriCorps VISTAs provide a variety of services to FIRST programs.

Now, call me ignorant, but Libby, what exactly IS the tiara for/where did it come from?

Team 1676: Black shirts, bright yellow "sunburst" with white lettering on front, white sponsors' logo on the back. Look for our mascot- he looks like a chef and the apron is covered with buttons.
