Especially for the scouters and I that try very hard to get good seats in the morning, I can attest to this. Not sure how to solve it though. I'm very happy that they got rid of opening only one door in the morning and went to opening all of them before letting people in. This allowed us to wake up a bit later in order to get good seats. I have to say it's still probably the closest thing to a Black Friday zombie breakthrough than anything I've ever been a part of. Perhaps assigned team seating is the solution to this?
Another idea I had is even though the split is happening, have 8 fields on the field still and just have two per division in order to speed up the flow of matches and maybe make qualifications last a shorter amount of time.
