Re: FRC rules around seating need to change.

The biggest issue here isn't team vs team seat saving (first come first serve, we all know that you probably shouldn't jump into the middle of a large team section just because someone left to use the restroom). It's when a team blocks members of the general public from coming in to see what's going on. Whether an 'un-tagged' exec from a large company looking to "see what it's all about", parents or relatives showing up on Saturday to check out the action or an unsuspecting passer-by that just happened onto one of our tournaments, we need to show these people what FIRST is all about!

Welcome people into our crowd, don't show them how petty we can be about who is going to sit where to watch a match. If you leave your seat(s) unattended, don't expect them to be there when you get back, especially when people unbound by the general rules show up and need a spot to park on Saturday!
