→Tips for Preparing to Run Trivia
* Check that Security knows you'll be using Goodrich. Do this a couple of times in case your contact gets lost in the paperwork.
* Scout out Goodrich for alternate entrances. During set-up for Spring 2005, Deine Mutter was hampered by the organizers of a hip hop dance show. The organizers had the front door locked, which made it challenging for us to get our setup equipment into Goodrich on our schedule. Luckily, we found an alternate way in.
* ?It would be a good idea to check with the Phones people and the Network and Systems people at OIT to make sure the phones are set up correctly and that the network is setup to handle the load from streaming WCFM off-campus. Do this a couple of times too.?* Have the folks on your team who own cellphones (ideally, cellphones with free/unlimited night and weekend minutes) bring them, so if ports on the phoneboard die, you can replace the call-in numbers with people's cellphone numbers.
* Have your team geek(s) subscribe to the Trivia-tech list and ask if there have been any major developments you should know about. There has been talk recently (2005) of setting up backup streaming servers and hosting shows off WCFM. There are challenges to be overcome, but it's possible progress has been made.
