101 Things I Wish I'd Known Before My First FIRST Tournament

Of course I'm not an admin, so this opinion is worth about as much as a disco record or AOL Free Trail CD. - PayneTrain [more]

dont get emotionaly evoled with anyone on your team(most of the time)

Heh, don't ever, nor ever ever, get involved during the build or competition season. This is one of our team rules. Things get too complicated, people get distracted, time gets wasted, and most of the time students get burned out, causing feelings to get hurt.

What I wish I'd known:
Reprioritize your time from what it was in the build season. If your relationship survived the long days of the build season, now is the time to mend fences and compromise where possible.

Bleh. 2008 wasn't so good for me in this respect.
