Some good advice here.
I especially agree with Felix's suggestion to move the stand to the side of the benches and scorer's table. That will really help your communication with the SK and the benches.
I would also come down off of the stand to check the lineups in pregame.
During play, you need to be aware of the net play becuase you won't have that backup of an R2 to watch the net. As the ball crosses the net, and if there are players close to the net, you might want to hesitate with your eyes just a second at the net before you go back to the ball, It's against your instinct as R1 to follow the ball, but it will help you catch any net violations.
