It was nice because each team knew that they had these two seats and didn't have to worry about saving the seats. I know most teams need more than two scouters but I think it helped at our regionals.

If there are teams who are not using these seats then those prime seats are wasted. Maybe a registration of the number of scouting seats that you need (up to a maximum of 6-7) would work. Then seats would not be wasted.

I think 2-3 seats for scouters would be very useful. It would cut down on the amount of scouting materials in the rest of the stands while only blocking off a relatively small area. Additionally, it would encourage collaborative scouting and data collection OR more innovate scouting practices. The rest of the stands would, ideally, be free of non-human objects and reserved sections.
