+1, this is crazy even by DCUM standards. It’s a scoreboard, it had no impact of the outcome of the meet. Take a deep breath.

Sorry, but as a tax payer and parent, I expect it to work. It’s ridiculous the rec center wouldn’t expect it to be used during a meet and not have someone there to ensure it was working.

Hopefully they do a better job the weekend.

Yes, unsubscribe.

There have been 5 pages worth of posts about a scoreboard not working at a session of a HS swim meet.

They had the opposite of lots of time due to the delays. The set up time was shortened because they couldn’t start it until after dive, which ended much later than planned. They were scrambling to set up because the meet was already going to start late and they were trying to minimize that.
The meet host was also hosting the dive portion, so they were focused on that prior.
Enough. Please just stop.

What.was.done.Friday.night??????????????? There was a very long delay to the start. What did they do then?

Which volunteer role do you fulfill during, or in preparation for these meets? Any?

Previously mentioned: i volunteered at both sessions. You? So instead of defending the host team, the answer is you have no idea what they did Friday bit we certainly can agree it was easily fixed (no people running around Sat evening trying to get it working), they had lots of time with the delays on Friday, and it was not them who would fix it - but relaying the info to the facility was all that was needed. Not:

Hey aquatics director do you know how to work it? No? Oh ok!

But: we need you to please contact whomever works the board and get it running. What’s that person’s name and contact? Here is the name and number of our team parent please be in touch asap. We need to hear back within the half hour on a status.

The facility doesn’t provide the timing equipment, the host team did.

It was fixed quickly and easily on Sat. We saw no one ever from the facility talking to them or working on getting it fixed. I arrived very early and worked out and then stayed so I was there Friday by 2:50. They did not try to bring any attention to solving the problem Friday. I can’t understand why you think this is such a burdensome ask of the hosts. It is not and should have been done. Enough with the back and forth…evidently everyone disagrees with you.

Before Patriot Districts the week before it was brought to the Oakmont Center’s attention and nobody knew how to make it full screen on the board, including the aquatics director.

Yeah, and then it was fixed. It wasn’t impossible because voila- it worked the night after prelims. The answer is to make sure the facility knows it’s an issue and get the right person involved. It is not to say eh, whatever. Why would the aquatics director know? He/she oversees swim classes!!

A week later.

They didn’t say “whatever”. They tried for over an hour and there was nobody there that day who knew how to run it. Then, as you said, they got it going the following week.

I wasn't there this past Friday night.
