Question for Team Alumni who Volunteer

[Elgin Clock]

FIRST doesn't care where you stay, they are just happy you are volunteering for the most part - and Yes, I stay with my team when at all possible.

To answer your third question, you have to fill out a conflict of interests waiver if you have any Judging/Refereee position.
I don't believe I have had to fill one out for a field-reset, or other type volunteer position (it may actually be in the forms I fill out, but I don't remember), but I have filled one out for specifically being a judge.

A rule they put in place for that is, you can't Judge your own team - although I was able to stand back & watch my team being judged, so that was cool.
(Safety Advisor position actually, but they Judge an award or 4, so it counts. lol)

As far as Reffing matches with your team competing in, I'm not sure the specifics on that one - you may have to sit back when your team is up, but I'm not positive.
