Some teams take 20+ students to scout an event, some take 2, some take none. Some scout by watching matches, some talk to teams in the pit, some do both. Since the amount and type of scouting a team does is so dependent on the team itself, I doubt that there is an accurate way to allocate the correct amount of seats at an event to accommodate everyone...

Having a lottery and allocating the identical seating space to teams are not the same thing. If teams indicate how many they'd like to bid for, events can guarantee a minimum (3-6) and randomly assign the rest to interested teams. I'm not saying it's a
good idea, but it's certainly doable.
I doubt FIRST would ban cheering from any prime/scout designated seating spots. Maybe ban standing and cheering, and if scouts would like to they're free to sit in the normal seats.

Doesn't arriving at 7am put most of your team behind several hundred people?
