Last year at Nationals, my team (271) kept our crate in our pit area. We didn't move it, we just left it where it was. What ended up happening with that, was the table was in the back of the pit, and the crate was on the left hand side. There was a lil gap (corner) that was made between the table and crate and that's where we put our stuff (when there was someone around) since it was a bit difficult to get into and you would notice if someone was trying to take something from it. Honestly, with the lack of seating available, my seat was on top of the crate and that's how I answered any questions by scouts or judges or whatnot. It also kinda kept me and the interviewers out of the way of anyone actually doing anything in the pit. So, I guess it isn't required to remove your crate, at least we didn't.
