I am sure the players will work with the new dealers.
Rather than ignoring the situation and ending up with people feeling let down, I think it would be best to be up front about it and announce/request before the start of play for patience with the dealers many of whom are new due to the need for dealers at events elsewhere.
It would be easy to gloss over and pretend it"s OK but when it isn"t people complain. If they know in advance that some guys are really new then it will help I think.
Great point, and very helpful to everyone involved. If your not aware it is a new dealer, then you just assume they should know what they are doing, so no doubt some people very quickly will get annoyed at them either being slow, or silly mistakes etc.
But if you know they are new, then everyone tends to have more patience and help etc.
