Re: Saving Seats Epidemic

Another issue I saw with the seat saving rule was this year's opening ceremonies. In Archimedes a medium sized team left towels with their team icon to save their seats so that they could all watch the opening ceremonies together. Another medium sized team came over and began to take those seats while taking these towels off and placing them in the seats behind them. One poor student from that original team was left to argue with a whole team while their team was away. Since FIRST wasn't broadcasting the opening ceremonies to the other divisions what should this team have done?

They could either miss the opening ceremonies and sit their in their seats in order to "save seats with bodies" or go to opening ceremonies because this might be one of the last times some of the students there could ever see them. I feel like FIRST should have at least broadcast the opening ceremonies to the other divisions because to this day I can't seem to think of a solution to this dilemma.
