Don't you know there's no saving of seats? Or at least there shouldn't be and this is one of the many reasons why.
Back in college I was tagged as scorekeeper for a couple of years at LSR and once at Champs. My biggest problem was occasionally getting distracted watching my team and thus not being prompt on the field reset stuff.
A bit after that I was drafted for LRI at LSR for a year when our mainstay was unavailable. It's about the same as being an RI at your team's competition, except if your team does something that needs an LRI ruling, obviously. I was a good mentor and made sure we didn't have anything questionable on the bot, but if something came up my plan was to conference with the two most experienced unaffliated RIs on hand when making the call.
