[IREFU2]

If I am the one who is in position (and I wasn't always) I am planning to hold my spot and make the calls I see and not worry about my partner(s). Generally, the observers will get us back in position, but I'm not sure how to properly handle the numerous times that we are all out of position (we haven't been trained in 3 man and we are going on limited experience- there are only a few groups using exclusively 3 man which I think is a good sign for those of us put into the 3 man groups).

Anyway, if I am sure that I'm in the right spot (and even if I'm wrong) I think I should stay put and make my call and go from there. Right, wrong or it depends?

Second, what are the observers and assignors looking for from those of us in first year at our first camp and what should I concentrate on the rest of the week? My plan was to concentrate on mechanics and making calls and being as strong as I can with calls.

Thanks for your thoughts-

Be quick to listen, slow to speak, if at all & dont get mad if they say something you dont agree with. Good luck!!!!
