Event checklist

For every event, some questions should be answered.

• Where are the bathrooms

  • Are there enough? (For races, everyone wants to go before they race)
  • Is there enough toilet paper? Where is more?

• Where are the garbage cans?

  • Are the garbages large enough? Do you need extra bags?
  • If you are going to stay here for a meal, the bags will probably fill

• What are your rain plans?

  • Do your volunteers have umbrellas/ponchos?
  • Will your sign-in papers get wet/broken?
  • What is your backup time/location? (so that you can announce it, if you need to go there)
  • Have you announced your rain plans in advance (in the Program Book?)

• When will awards be given out?

  • This should be on the printed schedule, including location of awards
  • For events with a lot of data, we recommend 24 hours for protests/issues.
  • For events with battles/etc, you can do the awards immediately, and enter the results officially after the event
  • Do you know where the podiums are (if applicable)

• Do you have a place for final storage of all judging results

  • Usually this is an envelope to hold all results written by judges/officials

  • Once the data is entered into the official record, this envelope may become the property of the convention-results-official.
