On a related note, I saw several issues of towers failing to trigger. We failed to trip the sensor on one of the Curie-field towers, and our scouts say that tower failed to register at least one more hit, from 1718 (and that's only one tower, on one day)
More issues:
Seating (already discussed)
Aside from the seating issues on the pit fields, I though the event ran very well.
