I can tell you there are varsity games where someone is not qualified to work the table. This varies from game to game. The level is not relevant because the JH School might have someone that knows exactly what to do and I go to a varsity game and no one knows what to do. The ADs pick the person to work the table and many times they do not pick the right person. So level is irrelevant. Some of the biggest goofs I have seen in my career were made by varsity table personnel.

Peace
I see. You're using the word level in a different way from me. I didn't just mean age of players (varsity being the oldest, down to ms being the youngest). I also meant that at the really scrappy varsity games, things might not be very good. ( I did a varsity volleyball match the other day where at game time, there still wasn't any one at the table, and when they finally found someone, we had to give instructions. It was a very low level of play, even though it was varsity.) As I go down in age around here, it also gets less and less dependable. There are a few MS where there's a good table person, but not very many.
