Even a quick refresher course would be helpful regarding what you expect from table personnel).

The only thing really anyone can tell you are to listen to whatever the officials at the game want you to do. Unfortunately there really is no one size fits all expectation. Hell all I want is to be informed of any problems. Most of the time the crew will figure that out on our own when something goes crazy. Just remember you are apart of the officiating crew. Other than that, the crew that will work on a particular night might have different expectations based on their experience or their own expectations.
