How long do you allow for your pre-game meeting? That seems like a pretty extensive list?

regular season we start pregame 90 minutes before game time.
on the field doing field duties 30 minutes before game.

play-offs start 120 minutes before game time.

**we don't use a crew system, so a lot of things have to be covered at every game.
