Finalizing volunteer shifts for Saturday

I’m locking the floor schedule by Wednesday at 5 pm and need two more runners for the 10–12 block in Hall C — any baristas or coaches willing to cover can DM me your cell so I can add you to the WhatsApp roster. If you’re competing, I’ll keep assignments light and protect your prep windows so we keep transitions smooth and backstage calm.

I can take 10–12 in Hall C — DM coming with my cell. One thing that’s helped me is pinning a “handoff spot” note in WhatsApp and doing a 5‑minute overlap so the incoming runner shadows before you peel off; if Hall C Wi‑Fi dips, default to meeting at the loading door at:55 each hour.

Small tip that’s worked for me: set a 2‑minute ‘last lap’ ping in the WhatsApp roster for the 10–12 block so the incoming runner starts moving before the swap… It keeps transitions smooth, though it only helps if folks turn off Do Not Disturb for that window.

I’ve had good results having the off‑going person drop a 15‑second WhatsApp voice note at:57 with hotspots and any holds so the next shift starts moving early. > helps if folks turn off Do Not Disturb for that window. Totally agree — voice notes cut through that, but if the area’s too loud, a quick photo of the route board is cleaner.
