Volunteers are needed to help with tournament and we have many different roles to meet your interest. Volunteers can work partial days and will be able to watch the long term performance of their children's, relative's or friend's team. Teams cannot use a volunteer to satisfy the judge requirement.

Volunteers will receive their assignment approximately 1 week prior to the tournament and will receive on the job training at tournament. There is no required training for volunteers prior to tournament day.

VOLUNTEER DESCRIPTIONS

Awards Set Up:
Set up the Primary Awards Ceremony after the morning group and at the end of the day after the afternoon group. Also responsible for setting up the main stage in the auditorium for the Awards Ceremony at the end of the day.

Clean Up Crew:
Once teams begin finishing competition we will need help with putting away chairs and tables. There will be banners and signs to take down, boxes to pack back up and put in cars. We all work together as a team and we work fast so Clean Up is actually the shortest volunteer shift of the day. Don’t panic clean up sounds bad but everyone helps clean up their own room and we have a janitor for the gross stuff.

Door Monitors:
You will be responsible for monitoring traffic in and out of the Long Term Problem room during competition. When there is no one competing the door will be open and people may come and go as they please. Once the judge signals for a team to begin competition the door will be closed and no one will be allowed into the room.

Hall Patrol:
As experienced coaches you know what is acceptable and what is not as far as helping to get a team ready for competition. You will be responsible for patrolling the Hallways, Commons Area, Bathrooms, and possibly just outside the school if the weather is nice enough for teams to be outside working. If you see what appears to be outside assistance just please gently remind the team and coach that this is unacceptable.

Hospitality:
Hospitality is responsible for all the food that is prepared and served throughout the day. Breakfast, lunch and snacks are served in room 105 for the Judges and Officials. There will also be a Coach’s Break Room in Room 106 for the coach’s and volunteers that will serve a light snack and drink.

Information Booth:
To staff the information booth which will also house the Lost and Found and First Aid.

Long Term Problem Helpers:
To help the SPC for each long term Problem as they need you. The duties for each problem will vary as each SPC will need help with different things.

Spontaneous Competition Area:
