Re: Seats at Championship

Everyone wants a good seat to watch matches, especially when it comes to watching their own team compete. They also like to have their team sit all together. I saw fairly large teams taking large sections of seats and covering them with coats, capes, banners and anything else they could use to save a section large enough for their team. There was one team that had at least 30 seats saved for their "scouts" and when I an another mentor wanted to take a couple of minutes to watch a few matches before we went back to the pits, it was mad clear several different times that these seats were for their scouts.
The other thing I saw is teams that want to stand and cheer for their team. This is fine during the introductions, or if the team is seated where they are not in front of others. We all want to cheer for our team but the people behind us also want to see the matches.
I like the idea of a scouting section, the number of seats per team should have a limit. However with 100 teams per division this year the number of scouting seats would add up fast.
Our team seems to always find seats that are less desirable so we do not have to deal with moving our feet and loosing our seat.
We will never solve the issue completely but as stated above sending the judges to the stands without judges shirts on would be interesting to say the least.
