You didn't write this originally, "We sit wherever is open when we arrive, watch opening ceremonies, and half of the team disperses around the venue, leaving half of the seats which were previously occupied, open for other people to sit."

I applaud that. I think that is exactly how the don't save seats rule is intended to work.

As far as I can tell you guys are doing the opposite of saving seats.

Thumbs up! and +1

No biggie! I only say we "save seats," because we tend to spread out more when we don't have as many people in the stands, but it's mostly so that when it's time for our matches or ceremonies, our members have a place to come and sit. And the people sitting in "our section" (for lack of a better term, I know it's not ours per se) are generally gracious enough to volunteer their seats back to let our members sit with their teammates if needed. But again, we only spread out because if we don't, our students and mentors won't be able to sit with their teammates, because another team is going to try to "reserve" the spot in the traditional sense of the word (i.e. telling people they can't sit there). So I would say that we do reserve seats, but we aren't as strict about it as some teams. We don't have caution tape spread around a section

Sorry for the miscommunication.
