Two things that I see as being a harsh injustice to us and the money we put into the USBC:
1. You have had this event for many years, it is quite a large event. Any normal event like this has or should have a set of guidelines to follow for all staff in case of issues that arise. It is beyond me how what is allegedly such an "amazing" organization has no plans for eventualities that may occur. Has no one at the USBC ever thought to create plans for what procedure would be followed if the lanes were blacked out? If there are no such plans, than its great to see that the money we put in to their salaries for them to do the best job they can do is really not going to even the simplest of standards for large events.
2. The director for the event leaves and is unreachable for 1 hour. If you are the director for an event like this, one of such scale, do you not think it is appropriate for your staff to have a way to reach you in case of emergency, especially during active parts of the event? I'm sorry but we are paying for directors to be available to make sure situations like this do not happen.
