[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was at the meet and applaud Hamlet for stepping up to host, especially as the last ASR meet was in 2019. I do not belong to Hamlet.

My observations:

The volunteer marshals in the “one event viewing” bleacher area did their best trying to keep traffic moving in one direction and having people move all the way down to fill in as best as possible. Parents didn’t make their lives easy by not listening, arguing, not moving down, and trying to enter via the exit. All of this was clearly communicated as well by the marshals.

The one perm bleacher area was once again taken by Division 1 teams (namely Chesterbrook, Tuckahoe and Overlee), and there were more swimmers than parents in the bleachers. If seating was an issue, maybe OP can ask the division 1 teams to back off in future years?

Yes, it was unfortunate it rained the night prior and there was mud. The volunteers did put down a walkway near the bleachers and Coach area, the mud just overpowered it after awhile.

Someone commented on the team rep area only allowing two team reps, and that is normal for NVSL meets as most pools have 1-2 reps. If your pool chose to have more than two, well then you will need to figure that out and share time instead of arguing.

Finally, I heard the livestream was great. Great camera angles and just a short delay to the actual meet. [/quote]

My spouse is an official who was very involved and agrees.

Perhaps all bleachers will be one event viewing at future meets. [/quote]
