You want to continue along with the same base scouting system you've been using. He was asking you to adapt so that you no longer need to save seats (which is against the current rules) or build a system that is more flexible with the positioning of your scouts, yet HE'S the one ending innovation?

If scouting and scout positions are so important, then why not have a few students on standby as "backup scouts" who sit in the seats of your main scouts while they're taking a break? Signal/text your backup, they take your seat, you get a break.
This next bit isn't directed at you personally:
Across several related threads there are multiple reports of people getting "pushed or shoved" over "saved seats." This burns me up. Shoving people while in a theatre/stadium seating setting is not just un-GP, its not just rude, its flat out DANGEROUS!
People losing their balance and falling down several steps can very easily lead to a serious head injury and a trip to the hospital! NO! NO! NO!
I don't think we need a rule change. I just think we need more awareness. Perhaps next year's game can be named "There's no saving seats!" The endgame can be musical chairs!
