• Monitor time closely for the 5-4-4 or 2-3-3 warm-up, timeouts, etc.  The pre-match shared  will start at the conclusion of the previous match and occur during the captains’ meeting.
• Do all you can to keep the pace moving during the match between whistles.
• Remote score entry to AES will be available.  Getting the score sheet to the tournament desk for closer courts or to the folder in the middle of the grey net where the four corners of courts 4, 6, 9, and 11 meet is secondary to getting the next match going.  At some point, please do bring it to the tournament desk or to the folder hanging between those courts in the middle of the arena.
