***This weeks roster is now FULL*** Thanks parkrunners, we really appreciate your help! :-D In other news, Im after your thoughts... Much discussion has taken place about our persistent Double Crosser problem and potential solutions. The way I see it, there are a number of issues that could make things go more smoothly. The main issues I think we have are: 1) The distance between the Timekeepers and Finish Tokens, is too great. 2) The Funnel is too wide and therefore runners are difficult to control. 3) The Funnel Manager currently has too much to do. If you could have a look a look at the pictures below and give me your feedback, that would be great! Here is the plan: 1) Reduce the distance between Timekeepers and Finish Tokens, reducing the disconnect in communication between the two. 2) A narrower funnel (we will need to purchase some standalone posts, but have money in the donations pot to do this). This should help prevent runners passing each other in the Funnel and also help prevent Double Crossers, who run in with a friend. 3) The Start/Finish Assistant (who is currently a little redundant once the parkrun has started) will keep a tally of runners who take a token. They will also occasionally check with the Finish Tokens and Timekeepers to make sure the numbers match. This will not only free up the Funnel Manager, but will also help us to identify roughly where any issues have occurred. Thats the plan... I look forward to your thoughts! :-D
