I just returned from another championship - frustrated once again because teams seem to save MORE seats than they truly need.

Once again, I say down to watch a few matches in an empty seat to be harassed that the seat was being "saved" for someone else. I mentioned that seats are not to be saved only to be told that the people "just left" to which I always reply; "When the come back I would be happy to move" to which of course no one ever arrives. Saving seats is out of hand.

My proposed solution, send judges to the stands without a judges shirt on. Test the TRUE GP of teams in the stands, away from the judges table and see which teams are truly gracious. I would recommend this to all teams who have won a chairman's award and especially to teams in contention for a chairman's award on the championship. I believe the judges would be surprised as to how they are treated from some teams.
