[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have to get 10 points a family. There doesn’t seem to be any enforcement of this and there are families that never volunteer (and there’s no buy out option). It’s a really strange environment with parents - like there’s some sort of hierarchy of volunteering and the “best” jobs are done by a clique of the “in-crowd”. I’m not in middle school anymore so I couldn’t care less, but the discussion between timers yesterday made it very clear that some of them were angling to be the head timer. lol…[/quote]

I’m really curious; what are these “best” jobs? I became our team’s head timer after the previous one’s kid graduated, and I was asked if I would do it. It’s fine, but no one on our team has ever seemed jealous of this, or any other position.  It’s more like trying to find enough people to fill such positions. [/quote]

Preach! Nobody is jealous of any of these jobs. I will say that ribbon writing is pretty easy if you are going to be there anyway. Runners are also a good job if you want to get your steps in and not have to wrangle kids. It is very easy to watch your kid/s swim with both of these jobs.[/quote]

We're relatively new but I think any of the table jobs where you're sitting down writing or reading out times, ribbons, etc. are considered better and go fast (or are taken before signups begin). Timers and kid wranglers seem less desirable. [/quote]
