I don't know if other regionals do this, but Lone Star has "spectator" seating. Essentially, if your team is on the field right now, you are allowed to sit there, and get up as soon as the match is done. At lone star at least, I believe that most people respect these rules, and it works out fine. I personally also like the idea of seating for scouters. A possible system might entitle: when you check in on thursday (or maybe earlier) you need to declare how many scouting seats your team needs, max of 6. Use some sort of randomizing thing, and assign seats for scouters randomly (teams are together ofcourse). Then tape reserved signs on those seats (with the assigned team number) so that there will be no fighting within that area. After that, its up to the non scouters in the team to find their own seats.
If we want to push this idea further, make some "scouting team" buttons (like drive team buttons" and you can only sit in the scouting seat if you have the right team badge......
Before people say scouting buttons are stupid (I don't actually know if people will say that
) just remember, scouting is just as important as the drive team.
