This. I have had something similar to this happen at a regional event. I have had parents who have driven 2.5 hours to attend a regional to support their child only to have adults from another team get ugly about seats. Most of the time these are not FIRST team mentors they are parents there to watch their kids play too. Maybe that's our problem, we aren't educating our parents on the application of gracious professionalism in the stands at competition...it seems like I hear 'Blue alliance', 'Red alliance', less and less.

Now to

The FIRST web-site...I do not like it in any way shape or form. The search function is so bad I refuse to use it anymore. Heck, even getting to TIMS to log in is a chore.
