15-20 minutes
Maybe more if with a partner new to the crew
Fortunate here because any new partner would already be quite familiar with the items to be covered--we aren't starting from "square one" on every little thing
Not every agenda item on the pregame necessitates discussion, only a reminder and confirmation from all on the crew
If we, due to familiarity with each other, give it the "short shrift", that gives a bad example to the JV officials sitting in
