Re: Saving Seats Epidemic
I'd like FIRST to create a lottery. Then assign seating as follows:

The best section of seating is reserved for VIP, such as parents with children under 10, those that aren't affiliated with a team (yet), corporate sponsors etc.

The next section of seating is divided up into blocks of 6 seats. Each day at competition, teams are randomly assigned a block of seating along with their 6 passes. Teams are then left to decided how they use their 6 seats, however they see fit. If they want the people in the pits to have them that's fine; if they want their scouts to use them that's also fine.

The last section of seating will either be randomly assigned in blocks of 25, or free for all seating depending on the venue. This sort of system should cut down on "we're saving this seat for xyz," because if xyz is that important, they'll get one of the better reserved seats.
