I always introduce myself, then look at how much experience everyone has. I then tailor what I say to the lowest level of experience. If I'm new to a circuit or post I ask if anyone has experience of where the bottles go, where the cars are likely to end up, etc. Then I pair up my crew, including asking if anyone has any preference who they partner up with (or don't want to go with). I also make sure everyone is aware of the rotation (which you can't assume is the same at every circuit).
Then I hand over to the observer for anything he/she wants to add.
