Re: On Saving Seats

From the perspective of a small team with ~10 students.

So...in order to get good seats, and sit together as a team, you need to get there early. But, teams rushing to good seats is dangerous. So in order to make the rush less dangerous, each team should only send a few students up to the stands. But then they have to save seats in order to have enough for their whole team, which is against the rules. So if you send a few students up, then other teams will sit next to you, because they are good seats. Then there isnt enough room for the drive team to come back and watch the matches.

Here is my proposed solution, which is what our team already does. We save seats. There, I said it. We sit down, and put our jackets and bags on the seats next to us, to ensure room for the pit crew. But I think the problem with saving seats, and the solution lies after the big rush, and the claiming. Its what you do with your claimed seats. If someone wants to sit down in a claimed seat,let them. That is GP. And if someone who has been in the pits wants to sit with their team to watch their match, move over for them. GP is basically manners. Just be polite about seats, and no one will have a problem.
