I completely agree with TheCascadeKid's idea. I was thinking along similar lines. When you register for Champs you need to submit a total number attending and then you are randomly assigned a block of seats (and I really like the vertical as opposed to horizontal idea). I also suggest that this rotates by day so that one team does not end up with "the good seats" for the entire event.

Also.......

We need to address the travesty of the mad seating rush for Einstein!!!

What happens every year is that so many people rush for seats on Einstein that there is hardly anyone left watching the Archimedes, Newton, etc. finals and awards. This is a travesty! If people had pre-assigned seating for Einstein then they would all stay and watch those finals instead of all trampeling each other to get to the "big show" seating.
