Setup on the night before/morning of competition

Arena:

• Sound: Make sure music and microphones play.  Make detailed notes of what all of the settings are.
• Glass panels/netting: Ask for 1 panel of glass to be removed by each rink door (by locker rooms and one by the right hand door by entrance).  Ask for 2 panels of glass to be removed in whichever corner the videographer wants.  Ask the rink to raise the netting for one area (not all) so that people can throw things on the ice (Buckeye ONLY)
• Temperature:  Ask for heat in the locker rooms and heat in the bleacher area.  Ice temp should be raised to figure skating temperatures
• Signs should be put up in the arena to indicate where the locker rooms, registration, restrooms, hospitality, etc areas are. Post schedules on rink doors.
