[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Note to PVS and UMD event staff. There is a saying “You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar”.

I’m less inclined to help out with timing multiple sessions when I’m a paying customer (meet fees - where does that money go?) and your staff is flat out rude and yelling.

Maybe UMD has more issues getting timers because of how they treat volunteers? As someone pointed out meets at GMU, PWCS, Fairfax Co, don’t seem to have these issues. They might be looking for a few volunteers at the start but it hasn’t been the catastrophe of UMD.[/quote]

It’s got absolutely nothing to do with UMD staff or the security contractors/CSC.

The decision to not let parents into the stands and or to kick parents out of the building is coming from PVS deck officials. This is a PVS induced problem that needs a real solution. [/quote]

The real solution is parents step up and time.   [/quote]

And I’m not going to step up any extra when I being treated disrespectfully. [/quote]

If you had volunteered to time when your coach sent out the notice in the first place, none of it would have happened.[/quote]

Our coach said maybe a week before: if you want to time, here is the doc to sign up. No further follow up, no notice that spots were unfilled. Waiting until people show up is not the answer when it is continually a problem for meets there. Send out notices well in advance which shows all spots taken and all needed. Require timers to be supplied pro rata based on number of swimmers participating from each team. [/quote]
Um, that is what they did. There was a sign up genius assigning spots based on team participation and it was very easy to see how many open spots remained for prelims. [/quote]

Right…and then nothing else. So if our team provided all requested timers and our team parents were then refused entry…that’s a problem with how the meet is run. Sending out the sign up with zero follow through about the gaps until the meet has begun is not problem solving…esp when this same thing happened in March. [/quote]
