Raven's vs Steelers
HUGE rivalry
Game begins at 8:30pm Eastern Time (takes about 3 hours)
I often find clueless models swearing a blue streak at their customers during big sporting events.
"Why are you guys not buying into my 30 minute show!?"
"Why isn't anyone talking to me tonight? Can you hear me?"
"If you don't say something I'm going to block you!"
Part of being a good 'business owner' is knowing what your customers needs are.
During the time guys are all glued to their TV waiting for the next play, they may be in our room, but they're not likely to take a show with us until half-time or a commercial break.
Ever notice how it will be dead for 15 minutes, then all of a sudden 5 guys swim into your group show, and then gone just as quickly? That's probably a break in the game they're watching.
This Sports Illistrated's schedule link is my work schedule Bible!

Not only does it tell us what teams are playing within every sport, but more importantly, during the game it tells us what inning/quarter the game is in and the scores (if we want to work that into our Free Chat patter =) While working (or thinking about working) I use this link to watch when teams are in the final minutes of the game, then jump on. It means no guesswork at determining when it's bound to be busier on cam.
The schedule and it's scores will alert us to games going into OVERTIME which means NO ONE is leaving their TV until one of the teams wins. Overtime in big rival teams equates to our room being a tomb =p
As I've said many times, it's worthwhile working before, or after a big game like tomorrow night, but not during. I watch this site and I don't jump on cam until they're down to the game's final minutes .
Obviously, this isn't 100% effective, but timing your camming for before/after big games will increase your odds of being busier. This is simply another tool and strategy for using it.
One final trick, Google: Biggest NFL Rivalries (or NCAA, NBA or Hocky, whatever.... I have all of those noted) Then take note of when they're playing and put them on your work calendar for future reference.
Best of luck!
(And, as a Northern Ohio girl, Go! Steelers =)
