[MRSSA News] Regional Tournament - Individual Competition Running Order

[Mark Bortz]

The problem I see with the schedule below is this-
Swivel can start at 7am which in it's self isn't a problem.
Team paperwork due by 8am, this is the problem.  The judges and scorers 
will be busy with swivel
and will not be able to get the team paperwork in order for the first 
show.

Team paperwork would have to be due at the meeting Friday evening (8pm).
This would give the scorers & chief judge time to review the team 
paperwork and get things
in order before the first show at 8:30-9am.  Turning the paperwork in 
during individual registration
just doesn't give the chief judge and scorer enough time.

Individual registration would need to be done by 6:30am.  This would 
give time for the scorers
to get the forms ready for the judges.  I assume that some of the 
individuals could register
Friday evening to lighten the load Sat. morning.
