If I'm asked, I will (and have) certainly give any information that I think is important. But I have seen campers get very angry about receiving help from other campers. Since then, I purposely don't offer advice.
As I said earlier, that's just my own opinion. And if you have a history of giving pointers to other campers and it works for you, then I'm glad for you, honestly. But I think eventually, it will backfire.

My most recent example where I offered was directly towards your goal #2. The guy was in a mess after a critique by the evaluator. We had another game coming up in 45 minutes. If he was not ready for that, it would have potentially been a big mess. My advice intended to get us ready for the next game.
