I just spoke with Kevin and here are a couple of things to be aware of:
1) The athletes will not be able to park on the field, or drive down onto the field to unload equipment. It is just going to be too crowded and too hectic. Plan on bringing some sort of wheeled cart to haul your stuff in. Try to get there a little early...I would recommend 8:00am.
2) The registered athletes will receive wristbands in the mail to get them through the gate, but don't count on anyone else with you getting in for free. This isn't a policy change, Kevin is just going to be too busy to stand at the gate and give the okay for wives and such to get through.
3) There will be a cookout on Friday evening at the field. The Anderson's are providing everything - as usual - and are expecting a pretty big crowd of athletes and organizers. Should eat sometime around 6pm.
4) If you are waitlisted or just don't plan on throwing, please be ready to help in any way needed. Kevin, Dave McKenzie, Jim Cawley, and David Webster could probably all use some volunteer help to keep things running smoothly.
The folks at Bridgeport have gone all out to bring the championships to our neck of the woods, so let's do everything that we can - including watching the language, keeping safety in mind at all times, helping when we are needed, and keeping a good attitude even if things are a little more stressed than during a normal year.
Is there anything else that we need to know???? I can't think of anything right now, but add replies if any more information is needed.
