Default Competition Ground Crew

I have never flown in competition in the US, but I am certainly going
to change that this year.

How often do you go to competition without a ground crew and if you do
how do you deal with this situation? Are contest organizers of any
help considering their workload?

Any advice will be very appreciated.

Andrzej - To make it really sporting, borrow a glider with no
trailer and go to the contest with no car. Walk to and from
the airport. Thumb a tow to the grid, land near and taxi back
to your glider parking space. Of course, it costs some beers
for the tows to the grid ! I guess I'm getting old, haven't done
that for a few years (and no, the glider didn't have a motor)...
Have fun !
