It did seem like at least one more team could have been added in the area where the safety advisors table was. This was a very underutilized space that would have better supported the expansion of team pit areas. If the pit areas do end up to be smaller than 10x10 again, I would respectfully like to request that knowledge be formally communicated to all prospective teams MANY MONTHS in advance, including which dimension (front to back, or side to side), is smaller.
Totally understand! This is something that personally I did not feel was communicated very well, and even more annoying was to have my team's pit feel more cramped than usual! Due to the number of teams there it was hard to find extra space in the smaller gym, but I've had a couple ideas about how to remedy that, and plan to bring them up next time we meet. Thanks for the input!
