The Championship that I attended didn't have one of these teams. Please do not use "what if's" in this kind of discussion. What matters is what happened, and that was small and avoidable. A few people out of 22,000+ should not require a fix or a discussion of a major problem that doesn't exist.
Daniel, givens are things that can't be changed or shouldn't be changed. Given#1. Someone at any FIRST event is going to stand at some point during the time they are in the stands. Given #2. Someone at any FIRST event is going to be so tired that they are going to forget Given #1.
