Thank you to Tournament Volunteers!

Thank you for all that volunteered their time during our highly successful tournament this past weekend. We'll be able to support a lot of activities for the boys basketball program with the profits we've made. A special "thank you" goes out to our program coordinators - Steve Pitzl and JodyYungers and our tournament director, Kevin Carlson. You all went "above and beyond" in leading this highly successful tournament. Also, "thank you" to Bob Muscala and his "boys" for manning the t-shirt and Raideraid booth.

- Al Bush, RBBC President

Kevin, Steve & Jody -- A Special Thank You!

11/25/08 - I also want to express my gratitude to all of those who organized, planned, and worked at this weekend's event. The amount of work involved (especially in the planning) is staggering. --Bartt

Volunteer Checklist for Roseville Tournament 11/21 to 11/23

VOLUNTEERS

Thanks for Supporting Roseville Basketball!
From: Kevin Carlson, Jody Yungers, Steve Pitzl - Tournament organizers

REMINDERS
1. Check and verify your tournament shift time assignments with the site manager on Friday night – IF UNSURE
2. Check in at the Admissions table and make yourself a NAME TAG to wear during your volunteer time
3. Please wear Roseville colors (black and silver)
4. Please represent Roseville in a courteous and helpful manner.
5. EVERYONE should arrive 15 minutes BEFORE SHIFT TIME assignment and familiarize yourself with the duties of your job.
6. Please GREET visiting players, coaches and fans warmly and help answer any questions.
7. ALL ROSEVILLE VOLUNTEERS and PLAYERS can help by keeping the site clean – pickup garbage around benches, sweep court floor and inform site manager of major spills
8. NO FOOD or DRINK allowed in the Central Park gym. Please help to enforce this.
9. Trainer available at High School, NO medical help at other sites. Players can visit the High School. If needed – CALL 911 for medical help if any incidents arise.
10. Volunteers working the LAST game of the day – please stay a bit and help with clean up.

ADMISSIONS
ENTRY: Adults: Fri $3 Sat $5 Sun $5
Seniors and Students: Fri $1 Sat $2 Sun $2
(under 5 free)

1. Keep all money on the cash box – the site manager is the only person who can collect the money. Admissions money is kept separate from concession money.
2. NEVER LEAVE CASH UNATTENDED. DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO HANDLE MONEY.
3. Checks are made out to Roseville Booster Club – only for the exact cost of admission.
4. Cow stamp on Friday. OK stamp on Saturday. Bug stamp on Sunday.
5. TEAM COACHES will sign in as their admission (two coaches for each team).

OFFICIAL TIMECLOCK

1. Arrive 10-15 minutes before the start of the game to familiarize yourself with the electronic scoreboard and its operation. Check with the previous operator to ensure you understand operation and how to make corrections if needed.
2. Referees should use rubber bands on their wrists to keep track of the POSSESSION ARROW.
3. This job requires you to work closely with the scorekeeper and referees ONLY – not the coaches, fans or players. During the game sound the HORN if you have a question of the REFEREES.
4. The Site Manager decides if running time should be used in a game. Running time is to be used ONLY in the fourth quarter if one team is ahead by 20 points AND the tournament site is BEHIND in scheduled game starting times.

OFFICIAL SCOREBOOK

1. All Blank Official Tournament Scoresheets are in the folder at the score table.
2. Keep all scoresheets in the folder – needed for official records
3. FILL OUT THE TOP of the official tournament scoresheet completely – 5-10 minutes before the game have coaches fill in the names and numbers of all team players – this is for your protection – if a player is not entered or the number is entered incorrectly this could be a technical foul for that team.
4. When tallying the running score on the sheet, mark off by 2’s, 3’s or 1’s (do not x each number). Example: 3 point basket, 2 point basket and 2 free throws. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
5. Do NOT remove the individual scoresheets from scoring table. If a coach wants to look at the scoresheet during OR after the game HOLD the sheet and let him get his information.
6. VERY IMPORTANT: Write the actual game time for EACH TIME OUT taken on the Official scoresheet. Example: TimeOut #1 at 2:05 in 3rd quarter for Team A
TimeOut #2 at 2:15 in 4th for Team B
7. Enter game WINNER and SCORE on the Posted Brackets – or give the information to the site coordinator
8. MAKE SURE benches are cleaned up between games (throw away water – pop bottles) and have the gym floor swept either at half-time or between games (it makes it safer for the players and better surface)
9. SUNDAY – Trophies may need to be presented – consolation, 3rd, 2nd and 1st. Ensure that the site coordinator presents these and thanks everyone for attending our tournament.

CONCESSIONS

1. Set up of the site (wash hands) – MUST WEAR A HAT
a. Start Coffee (if not obtaining from coffeehouse) – large coffee pots typically take 40-60minutes to perk
b. Arrange concession tables for area to sell, area for fans to put condiments on, area to see what candy and pop is for sale. Arrange crock pots, hot dogs (buns), popcorn popper, coffee pots, etc. so that cords are not a hazard and the food is easily prepared without risk of burns.
c. All workers that are handling food that is not wrapped must wear gloves.
d. Learn to use the popcorn popper – start some if needed.
e. Make sure all needed signs are up.
2. Change of shift – please arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your shift and familiarize yourself with prices of food, where things are for restocking, amounts to be served.
3. WASH HANDS BEFORE SERVING – WEAR GLOVES TO HANDLE ANY UNWRAPPED FOOD ITEMS.
4. Keep all money in the cash box. Inform site coordinator if there seems to be too much. ONLY the site coordinators should handle the money.
5. CLEAN – area around condiments, tables people eat at, check garbage bags – these may need to be changed by us or if custodial personnel are at your site they may be able to do this.
6. The food is for sale only. Roseville workers can eat food at concessions (be discreet – rewash hands if needed) but only if it is paid for. It has been our policy that individuals working any of the jobs on site may have free coffee and popcorn. The referees will receive a free meal pass.
7. CLEAN UP –
a. At the end of the night make sure all equipment used for cooking food is properly cleaned with soap and water. Refrigerate all perishable foods. Make sure site coordinator takes all money home.
b. At the end of the tournament - All signs must be removed, the gym must have water and pop bottles picked up – all extra food will be dropped off at the Tournament Director’s house at the end of the tournament.
