FIRST is about as proactive about the paper airplanes as they are about seat saving. They make a mention of it and leave it at that ("Saving seats is bad!!" *waves a disapproving finger). If they wanted it to stop they could get really nasty about it and threaten to take away awards from teams that toss paper airplanes and the activity would stop cold because suddenly something teams actually care about("OMG! NO BLUE BANNER?") is being taken away and you'd never see another plane. Alas, FIRST has no interest in doing that and does not have the personnel to police the activity so the planes will keep on flying from now til Armageddon til someone ends up losing an eye and sues FIRST and FIRST does do something about the activity to avoid future legal action.
