Spirit of
the Games
award
David Lee Jones was known
as honest and fair when he
judged the Society of Cable
Telecommunication Engineers
(SCTE) Cable-Tec Games,
and during this year’s
competition the first-ever
Spirit of the Games award
will be dedicated in memory
of the late CommScope
employee.
“Many SCTE members
and fellow CommScope
colleagues knew that
David’s passion for
learning was cultivated
in his willingness to share
his knowledge with others,”
said Chris Gemme,
manager of global
technical services,
broadband, at
CommScope.
“David accomplished
that by coaching others
during the games.
He always had a passion
for sharing as well as caring.
He was a remarkable
and devoted teacher.
“On behalf of everyone
at CommScope, we are
thrilled the award’s first
recipient will go to another
individual that clearly
demonstrates the same
passion David exhibited
throughout his career
as well as his life.”
The Spirit of the Games
award will be given to a
participant, staff member
or host vendor who
embraces and exhibits
sportsmanship and the
learning environment at
this year’s International
Cable-Tec Games.
The games will be held
during SCTE Cable-Tec
Expo
®
in Atlanta.
Local Cable-Tec Games
are typically held during
chapter vendor days
or regional cable shows.
They provide an arena
for contestants to compete
in events that measure
their technical abilities
such as cable splicing
and meter reading.
Each year, first place
winners of the local
competitions are
recognized for their
achievements as they
gather to compete on
an international level
during Cable-Tec Expo.
