18 teams is a record over there:eek: thats normal number here! well good luck, how big is your club??? our club is really small so running a tourniment is horrable we all have to double and triple up on jobs:(

*chuckles* our club is not very small, but not huge either :) our flyball classes are slowly getting bigger by the week :D

lmao, yeah 18 teams is a record for our state:o 22 teams is the record for the whole country.

thats too bad about your club being small, you dont have people volunteer to help out at all ?

it is sort of a rule for the AFA (Aus flyballl association) that everyone has to steward a few races each, (line steward,box steward, time keeping etc) and that works realy well and you learn a hell of alot from doing the extra jobs (and its fun:o )

thankyou we will need all the luck we can get :)

lol we do have helpers but there are only 9 club members so even with helpers we have to double up on jobs, in out tournys I have to call passes and ball shag for the teams im not running on, and I also work the timetable I flip the #'s and post up the times and fill out the placing chart for the wins and losses and what not, and file the sheets after they have been typed out, and I have to take out the sheets from the files for the next races and put them on the clipboards for the line judges, all that at the same time, oh I usally have to handle selling the raffle tickets too, basicly I have to do ALL the minor jobs!:eek: needless to say my feet are pretty damn sore after the first day of this:rolleyes:
