I'm sure USFS works with the committee chairs to make sure shifts are assigned and there is necessary coverage and provides them with info/rules to orient the vols but I don't believe they run the scheduling or app process.
What side/section are the judges on?
Also, I am a pro at the SAP Center for Sharks games but I am not a pro at figure skating events. For the pros, what are the sections I should aim for to buy a fulll event pass?
This seating map on the official website shows all the important markers:

I prefer to be on the judges side so I'm not seeing the backside of programs (it's especially noticeable in ice dance).
Does anyone know if the SAP has free wifi for fans?
That is interesting. I didn't find anything about wifi in the FAQs of the SAP. What I did find in the FAQs in prohibited items is "ipads".
I’m going to be a volunteer too! I’m so excited. Not looking forward to the traffic though.
I have printed out my tickets, but don't see a specific practice schedule available. Am I missing something or does it come out later?
In terms of WIFI, my experience at Sharks games has been less than reliable. It is available, but can be spotty and slow
Gots myself volunteering shifts at the info desk at the Marriott! I'm assuming these aren't final, because I basically chose a shift for every day I could be in San Jose...
Also, man the system is really unintuitive! As I expected. I managed to double-book myself because I couldn't find a way to remove a selection. (The selection had disappeared entirely when I went back.) And as for the miscommunication between USFSA and the local committee...as someone who has to manage this kind of communication for websites (and some events), this is about par for the course.
