One idea to put out is to contact the company sponsoring the event and asking them if you can help to form a student regional comittee that meets with some of the company's people one or twice a month for a few months preceeding the event. This way instead of having a long line of telephone, you'll be able to voice your comments directly to where you want it to go.
The reason i started this discussion was to get general ideas of what could/should/can be changed and to hear the little things that made some regionals run more or less smoothly than others. Who knows, maybe one of the decisions/complaints could eventually cause a rule change like pit space for example.
From what i've heard some regionals are going to add this student panel, so it would be good to know what sort of things are the major and minor problems you can bring to these meetings.
One thing i'm going to advocate for this year is lowering the stage at the UTC regional because it is about 4-5 feet above ground level, is hard to see if you want to be in front when your team is up, and the little raisers we were forced to stand on near the stage can only hold so many people at once.
