I survived my floor test but I was so concerned with getting positioning right that I missed several calls. It was hard with someone screaming in my ear all night telling me where to be standing and stuff. I hope that doesn't happen tomorrow. Thanks for any advice.
Welcome to the forum I have found it very interesting an informative. Everyone's advice has been excellant but I will add something I found helpful.
Keep a log of your game a sort of a diary and include plays you remember that were difficult or confusing or you just didn't know what to call. It doesn't have to be a five page report but a paragraph or even a few thoughts. Review them on occasion and see if there is a common thread.
