Keep your rope tails up in certain places: When there is an increase
in clutter on the ground as in where there are lots of cables, truss, people, etc. Also the main vom area where there are lots of rolling boxes and traffic. You don't want to annoy people or get your rope tail caught on a
rolling box, etc.
When your rope tail is up, keep it away from the point you are sending IN. Watch that the belly does not wrap around a chain, get chowdered in anything, etc.
***???do not outweigh the reduction in time and/or effort
required by the UP Rigger.
check our points before walking away, so that we don't have any fouls to fix!
we are all on the same team provide a professional service to the production companies, and to fulfill our contract with the U of O -
Remember to leave plenty of tail on your knot. If you have to break the point Over the Beam, hold onto this tail as the knot passes over the corners (lift up on the tail to maintain knot loading and prevent it from capsizing).
attend the next workshop
a DOWN Rigger should be present before sending in a point
IF one leg needs to come in first, in order to avoid a flying truss, for example, the DOWN Rigger should be notified and the UP Riggers should coordinate so that the leg coming in first is lowered all the way in until it is hanging off the other leg like a dead hang. Then both legs can be brought straight in together. We still need to stop momentarily at the hook, so that the DOWN Rigger can safely contain the bridle.
Stopping when the hook reaches the DOWN Rigger

As a point comes IN, upriggers should be monitoring their speed for two reasons.
1) Lower the point as fast as your downrigger can manage it comfortably. They should not be falling asleep, getting bored, or freaking out.
2) Steer the point so that it goes right into the box. If the apex of the point is coming in downstage of the box, the downstage leg either needs to go faster or the upstage leg needs to go more slowly.
don't pick a point up until the downrigger the motor has been run out all the way and there are no people around the chain. If the downrigger is pickling the point, they will break the power when they finish and step away. As points are Broken up top, they tend to whip at the bottom from the activity.
