Some additional space for scouts, general public, and others would be appreciated.

Nationals are different from regionals, and I see your point on saving X# of seats for a team. Some teams don't know how many people are going to the event. But they usually have a better idea of how many are going to nationals than a regional. Like I said earlier, we were expecting 70-80 people for West Michigan, but thats our "Home" regional and families want to go.
Anyhoo, this is one subject, like many, that can be beaten to death until next year, without a whole lot of change to be seen.
