This is a great set of ground rules Vicky that you have laid out, and honestly, should be standard for any kind of meet. When I threw my 1st meet last summer, the ones I made sure to outline in the thread were handling gear and asking 1st before you take a piece of gear to another location. I realized that a lot of headfiers might be having their 1st meet experience and are simply not aware of proper meet etiquette. As veterans we can assume that it is common sense but as you can attest to, it is not. I was happy though for outlining some basic groundlines because everyone followed them and it created a more fun, enjoyable, less stressful atmosphere. I personally made myself aware of the no hair gel rule and this last weekend meet I made sure to come with my hair au natural, which was tough because as an asian dude I usually like to rock the gel.
