Ya, I have been in the middle of the trailer strapping stuff to the wall and been told "awards in 2 minutes". Great. If you are going to move them up, please, please give us more than 120 seconds notice. I would make sure I wasn't in the middle of something if I had some notice.
You're lucky. Last competition I did, my teamate yelled at me from 25 feet away "Hey, awards started!" and ran in without waiting for me....
