My name is Steve Scherr, and I am your Referee Advisor for VA/DC FLL.

I will be following discussions on this email list, and I'll post messages to let you know what I think about topics relating to the Robot Game, and my philosophy for interpreting the game documents.

I also provide training materials for referees at Virginia and DC FLL tournaments, and a bunch of you will see me wearing funny hats at tournaments this season.

Next month, I'll send out a couple of emails to tell you about "What to Expect at your FLL Tournament", but today, I'd like to focus on three quick topics:

1)  Table setup

2)  Rules and the Game Documents

3)  Coach support

Since "quick" for a referee is kind of chatty (see topic #2), I will send these out in separate emails.  [I think that they are worth reading...]

Best wishes for a great Nature's Fury FLL season!

Steve Scherr

VA/DC FLL Referee Advisor
