Hey, thanks! We normally don't have volunteers mapped out in advance as volunteer numbers are not solidified until maybe (if we're lucky) the day before the race round. More to the fact, experience of the volunteers is a bit of an unknown as well so that factors into where volunteers are placed. e.g. If our number of experienced volunteers are low, we try to pair up an experienced volunteer with a not-so-experienced volunteer.
Rest assured, show up when you can and we'll have a place for you!
In order to manage expectations, tech is sort of a special position -in my eyes anyway. It's the main line of defense against defective or unsafe equipment/set up. Understandably so, those doing tech are entrusted with a very special responsibility and they must adhere to the standards and requirements to a tee. That's not to say those that aren't doing tech are not trusted -false dichotomy. We generally do not put new volunteers on tech (to be fair, I want to do tech and I still have not been bestowed that opportunity lol).
Love to have you guys out that weekend! It's always exciting getting racers involved with this stuff.
Edit: If you have any questions, feel free to ask away.
Edit x 2: Hmm, thinking out loud. You're probably racing as well during Round 1. I can't think of a lot of a lot spots to put ya so as to not interfere with your racing. If you're there early, things we generally need help with in the pit area are as follows: setting up the argyll tent (tables, etc), the podium trailer, banners, the speaker system, parking. If you're there early enough with nothing to do, we could always use help setting up corner stations with tents/water/flags/etc. Again, show up and we'll figure it out. Thanks!
